“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.”

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

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?

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.

...remind me again what the protestants did to...every culture in NA they encountered, again?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

That’s a complicated question with a number of different answers for different groups, as they were not a monolithic hive mind.

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.
