Apple and Google Miss Deadline to Block Child Nudity on Their Phones in the UK
Now the UK government plans to introduce new legislation that would see companies face fines and potential criminal liability, and signaled similar plans could extend to Snapchat and Instagram.
AI Summary
The UK government gave Big Tech three months from June to make the taking, viewing or sharing of child‑nudity images on their devices impossible, a deadline that expired on Tuesday. The government says Apple and Google missed that deadline. Consequently, the government will amend the law to introduce what it describes as world‑first legislation aimed at blocking child nudity on phones.
