Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.

Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.

Google actually already has a system to automatically detect and filter incoming nude pictures. It allows apps to blur then and you can then opt to view them. It's a separate application and uses locally running machine learning.

I can't remember the name of it and if it's just on Pixels, nor what applications it works with. Might just be for their own messaging apps or it might be more deeply integrated. If anyone is curious I'll try to look it up after work.

The point is they already have something similar to this they could maybe leverage.

Not that it's a good thing but don't either of these companies have enough leverage to refuse with practically zero consequences?

4chan didn't care because of the absurd logic and they still haven't been blocked because they know it would be stupid to do so.

Nah. They haven't been blocked because the entire site is based on anonymity and the whole of their business operations don't involve the country in question.

How do you moderate a site when most of the user base are anonymous and don't sign up for accounts? There's nothing to link them back to. How do you prove a child sent anything or received anything with no account? How do you build a paper trail that would support the case against 4chan?

@deliriousdreams
moderate them by banning IPs, banning posts with VPNs, Tor and residential proxies from posting.
I guess you cant prove a child sent anything if they never imply their age in any post, they just have to never slip up.
I dont know if you need a paper trail against a website that just refuses to comply with laws. i dont know how UK laws work though. it is suprising 4chan isnt banned yet

OP do you know how technology works? Apple and google already do this to a degree. We've seen people get reported to the police for taking pictures of their own kids nude because photos are scanned on upload to icloud or google's photos. This isnt new its an expansion of existing norms

Isn’t he an Epstein pedophile?

Sure, give them 3 months to finish posting child diddy images, instead of idk, NOW. A week or two max, followed by forced liquidation.
