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.
