I don’t want to hear a god damn word about stopping teenagers from looking at porn until you put Musk and Zuckerberg in handcuffs for distributing CSAM

Let me guess, big titties will be censored but republican men who go on discord and groom 14 year olds won't be?

It's supposed to censor all nudity when kids are the users of the device

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

So, yes, it's inevitably going to censor big clothed boobies and will never even try to manage GOPedos.

Today nude images for kids. Tomorrow memes deemed to be Russian or Chinese propaganda for everyone (which will start out as "accidentally" being flagged as nudity because they'll just train their models to see it as that). Next decade: allow-list only mode, all unauthorized memes not sanctified by the crown blocked.

libertarian-approaching "Oh, PHEW, it says for kids..."

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

I wonder if kids might lie to access such restricted material? No, that would never happen.

This is obviously a thin veil over politicians cooming their brains out at the idea of forcing a surveillance program on every device you and I own.

For a second I thought it was for ai generated csam, but no.

Serious question - has the UK banned VPNs?

If not - how can blocking nudes work? British teens can get a VPN and log in from the Netherlands or wherever.

This is not about network filters. They want phones to scan through pictures on the device.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The replies in this thread are very depressing. I knew things in the UK were bad but I had no idea how bad. Yeesh.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised that nobody has followed political developments on that matter in the UK and EU or read the article

Who are pushing this? Islamists? Christians?

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore

[–] O__O@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

It will use on-device scanning so vpns are completely useless to stop it. When the phone tries to open the nude image, whether it is in a message or on a website or in the camera roll, the phone will detect it is a nude and refuse to display it. Maybe with an optional notification to a government server or parent.

the pipeline is under construction, the final form is hardware age verification on every device

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess they're taking an educated gamble on the kids not being able to operate a basic VPN.

But more to the point, as ever, this has got nothing to do with blocking nudes for minors, its got everything to do with forcing porn-seeking adults to identify themselves. In my option.

it's a subset of forcing everyone to de-anonymize online
