“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.”

My God. At least the US's fascism sort of makes sense from an internally consistent perspective. Make it make sense!

How exactly would such a system work?

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

AI, of course. It’s 100% accurate.

/s just in case

Client side scanning, it's already happening in android running google services there are two apps automatically installed which at least I know scan photos in the device. One is android system saftycore and the other I can't remember the name.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that shit was on my phone. Deleted.

If you happen to remember the second app name, please post it.

The other one is Android System Key Verifier, for that I'm not totally sure it's malware but as it have access to your end to end encrypted keys and the way it's secretly installed seems shady to me. Looks like a way for Google to intercept end to end encrypted messages for me.

Block everything but calls and maps.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Of ALL the things to block. Why not AI blocking? Or social media blocking.

I think it's time to throw my phone in the river.

Can we have normal grocery prices first? Ban porn if you want, whatever, but please make our weekly shops affordable again. Any help on rent prices would be really nice, too.

We shouldn't be living on the mercy of the bourgeois. Selling our freedom for bare essentials is what will drive us deeper into the slave life they have sincerely made for us.

We may have freedom to sell now, but what happens when we run out of that freedom?

I was more commenting on how grocery prices are more important than internet porn to be honest, and how thoroughly the govt are letting the public down by focusing on puritanical and unimportant bs like porn when food is unaffordable

I'm not sure the trade is internet porn for lower food prices, that isn't what I was suggesting

I will never buy a device that cockblocks me. I was talking shit about the nothing phone yesterday but I guess imma save up to buy it.

As the dad of a teenager, I am "encouraging" him to put nudity blocking systems on his phone.

oh shit would you look at that i just taught him how to go around me and hide his behavior better im sure there will be no future consequences whatsoever
