cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/55094518 “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.”

OMG. These plans are getting on my nerves. When a parent gives a kid their device and sets the child’s birthday, then enable these. If the birthday is over 18, the let them do what they want. Let parents parent the kid and get the government out of my life.

That seems the most sensible way of doing things. Apple probably doesn’t want that outcome though because then they’ll be liable for the implementation rather than, for example, the social networks or websites. Always gotta be thinking about the Apple shareholders.

Honestly, No. I don’t want my phone making decisions for me or my kids. If its site by site, they can just go somewhere else. As a parent, I’m far more worried about shitty social media algorithms that push narratives and online bullying and misinformation than I am about nudity. People have bodies, sex happens, it’s normal, whatever. I’d rather my kid learned about all that instead of being sheltered away from it until they turned 18. If anything, normalizing nudity and acceptance of different body types is probably a good thing for kids to learn, especially females where a constant narrative of “skinny, pretty, perfect” is being shoved on them and shaming them for not being a super model is considered the status quo. Let me make that decision as a parent, don’t try to protect my kids for me.
