“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.”

The only thing that's important for them and their ego is hallucinating problems and making up solutions which benefit nobody.

We live in an age where children and teens are getting their rights stripped because of said perceived "dangers" - real effort being done into something that will harm everybody. While realistic problems such as starvation and poverty get swept up under the rug.
