“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?

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 41 points 14 hours ago

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.

Well porn (as in actual porn) is bad for your mental health. But seeing a titty here and there isn't.

There already should be a distinction between what is a child and what is a teen - there is a huge difference and these laws don't take that into consideration. The only thing these laws do is remain as an ageist weapon that create discrimination.

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

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

That is true, the problem with nudity isn't with age anymore - it's with the perceived notion that nudity is damaging in some mysterious way.

Some countries are allowed to have nudity on tv which brings this indoctrinated viewpoint to perspective. In fact, this is viewed as normal no matter the age in such countries. In addition, sex-ed for older children and teenagers is of higher quality compared to western countries which prohibit nudity.

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

Ah yes the simple answer to the world’s problems is.. genocide?

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 14 minutes ago)

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

I remember coming across nude skins for gmod back in the day, I just.. moved on and didn’t download them because I was a kid with no interest.

[–] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 hours ago

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.
