UK Gives Apple and Google Three Months to Ban Nude Images on Kids’ Devices
The UK government has given Apple and Google three months to introduce stronger protections to stop children from taking, sending, receiving or viewing nude images on their devices.
Keir Starmer said that if the companies do not act by September, the government is prepared to introduce new laws.
“Today I’m calling on tech companies operating in this country to introduce device controls that prevent children from sending and receiving sexually explicit images. This is not an impossible challenge,” Starmer said.
Apple already has features that warn users when nudity is detected in Messages, AirDrop and FaceTime, while Google offers parental controls through Family Link and SafeSearch.
However, the UK wants stronger protections that work across devices and apps.
If Apple and Google fail to make the changes within three months, the government is ready to introduce legislation.
Seems like a bit of an oversight for the headline to mention him asking if he could kiss her, but not mention him cornering her, leaning his body against her and grabbing her hair. Or that she was a child sexual abuse survivor and he was a stalker.
Exclusive:
Lawmakers from several political groups in the European Parliament have sent a letter to the European Commission calling for new laws to protect video games that people have paid for.
The main quote: “When nearly 1.3 million EU citizens are calling on the European Union to take action, it is our obligation to listen and to act. We cannot ignore this overwhelming call to action.
The plenary debate a few weeks ago sent a clear signal: This Citizen Initiative has broad cross-party support in the European Parliament. When consumers pay for a game, they invest more than just money.
They spend their time on it, make memories, develop passions and make real friends for life along the way. It is indefensible that publishers should have the right to simply pull the plug on these games at any time, and destroy cultural heritage in the process. With this letter, we reiterate our position: It’s Game Over for this abusive practice.”
The MEPs argue that companies should not be able to make paid games unusable after ending support through server shutdowns, forced updates, or other changes.
They make it clear that this is not about forcing publishers to keep servers running forever or provide endless updates. Instead, they want laws that ensure people can still access and play the games they bought, even after official support ends. They also encourage solutions such as private servers or peer-to-peer options when possible.
Signed by dozens of MEPs from across the political spectrum, the letter increases pressure on the European Commission to propose actual legislation protecting consumers and preserving access to purchased games.
