UK to Force Apple, Google to Block Nude Images on Kids’ Devices

The British government plans to impose a requirement on Apple and Google to block nude images on children’s devices to protect children from inappropriate images. In response, Apple and Google have confirmed that they are evaluating this requirement. This plan involves potential modifications to the underlying filtering mechanisms of iOS and Android systems. The specific implementation timeline and technical details have not been announced yet, but the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport stated that it will closely monitor the compliance progress of these two giants.
