Can The five eyes alliance just be honest and admit they want to know what everyone is doing at all times.

They already can do. You can block it with the mobile network provider and you can set your home wifi router up to block them and prevent connections to other wifi connections….Maybe parents just need to….parent.

If you are an apple family, then child accounts automatically blur anything sexual/nude, and explain why, and send the parent a notification.
Seems to work well.
So they either are unaware of this, or… MAYBE this is nothing to do with protecting kids?
Shrug.

Because it would mean running every frame rendered through AI in real time. It’s not possible.

Parents need to be responsible for their children.
Otherwise they get used as the excuse for expanded surveillance powers

So if a 16 year old takes a dik pix to send to his dear beloved, the moment he takes it Apple just locks down the phone? They are just scanning all photos at all times?

Common sense solution from some reddit bumpkin:
-Make giving access to adult material to someone underage a criminal/ sexual offense.

When the government tells you that something is “for the children” or “to protect the children”, be extremely skeptical of what they’re doing.

We will not rest until every last person in the UK has submitted their photo and ID documentation to a US tech startup called “Checkr” or some shit.

Is uk government really don’t have anything better to do? Like you know- uncontrolled illegal migration, housing crisis, youth joblessness, knife crime and so on? Why don’t we leave parents deal with their horny teens?

And they wonder why so many with the ability to leave are leaving this country. When all of the business owners leave and the job crisis is even worse, give it a couple of years before the leaders are getting strung up on lamposts.

This has always been a thing, its default to block all 18 content unless you log into the account and give them details.

I don’t really blame porn and nudity for dangerous in-celibates, there’s genuinely something really wrong with you if you can watch whatever extreme shit you’re watching and correlate that with the real world.
I think these people were much worse back in the day, they’ve just got a name for it and something to push as a cause.
I do think this becomes a lot more existential too, there’s just bad people in this world. More people will continue to be stabbed/assaulted/raped and we should do everything in our power to minimise that, I’m just not sure what wac a mole policy may achieve in the long term especially if it only really benefits FVEY’s.

Yeah, pretty sure this falls on the parents to set up content controls
– plus a lot of network providers do this already; when I first moved to Vodafone I couldn’t even access cocktail recipes!
I feel like a lot of these problems could be solved by parents being better educated in technology, not papping their kids onto tablets, and taking a closer interest in what their kids actually get up to…

Doesn’t that already happen by default?
I’m sure I had to go onto my Vodafone account and ask them to turn the filter off so I could watch hairy grannies from York vol 2

I changed network provider and safe search is locked on with 5g by default. I still haven’t gotten round to getting them to unlock it. Fortunately I don’t have much desire to look at tits on my phone when I’m out and about

Great, so now every adult will have to do biometric checks so their corn viewing habits can be logged against their ID number.

So block ALL explicit things?
Thats going to prevent us going to the BBC website (they blatantly pay hush money to paedophiles), any religious site as the bible is quite graphic as is the Quran….etc etc.

Great idea. The resourceful nature of those who want to see porn no doubt will find ways.
My personal opinion is innocence is very important.

This is a pretty clear example of how MPs are easily bought off by vendors of magic solutions that don’t work.
Also SafeToNet are a registered charity, that seems to exist for the purposes of lobbying for measures that they can meet commercially – we have to strike these organisations of the charity registrar.

How much control they trying to get over your smart phone. May as well just get one of them North Korean red OS phones at this rate.
Today it’s pron tomorrow is anything the party doesn’t want you see.
cabinet_minister on
Nope. not possible. This will mean altering all OS and they don’t build separate OS for UK. Besides, figuring out nudity is a computationally expensive task. What if someone’s running iPhone 5? Are they going to do this detection online then? That’s not just surveillance but will also make user experience for everything super bad. And to add, will eff your data bandwidth.
