“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.”

    The war with China is coming and both the US and the UK want to minimize the impact of protests. It will be inevitably nuclear because China cannot be beaten conventionally. So people will feel a bit compelled to protest which could put to test the usual means of population control.

    Downvoters, do you have a counter-argument? The US will defend their hegemonial position which will lead to war.

      I did not downvote but you’re asserting several things that you can’t possibly know. 1. War with China is coming. 2. It will inevitably be nuclear. 3. This is being done to prevent people from protesting when #1 & 2 occur.
