“The UK government wants technology companies to block explicit images on phones and computers by default to protect children, with adults having to verify their age to create and access such content,” the FT report said. “Ministers want the likes of Apple and Google to incorporate nudity-detection algorithms into their device operating systems to prevent users taking photos or sharing images of genitalia unless they are verified as adults.”

Or just don’t fucking age gate shit.

Seriously who the fuck cares if a kid sees a titty?

    Worse is that it likely won't be able to distinguish between intentionally titilating material and material intended to educate. Only over 18 are allowed to learn about human physiology after submitting identifying information.

    I've been watching porn since I was 10.

    That's all. Porn is great.

    Children generally aren't that interested in nudity and most don't understand porn, just that it's something shocking

    worst thing for sexuality the UK ever did was let the protestants flee to the US instead of executing them (which they had no trouble doing with so many other "undesirables"), now their braindead dogma is spreading back across the pond

    there's no room for tolerating intolerance, had the protestants been wiped out instead of dumped in NA the world at large would be better for it

    There’s a middle ground between tolerating intolerance and complete genocide.

    Especially with titties, you think your five year old can't deduce that those bumps on women's chest have a nipple on it just like theres. Even if they can't I doubt that revelation will be traumatic or earth shattering.
