uk prime minister keir starmer told apple and google to ban nude images that children may find on their phones. he said the companies should be required to use built-in safety features. these tools should help stop children from accessing sexually explicit images. the request is part of a wider push to improve online safety for minors. starmer’s message is that tech firms should not rely only on reports or warnings. instead, they should activate protections that work automatically. this could reduce the chance that children see harmful content while using apps and devices. apple and google have not been described as agreeing yet, but the expectation is clear: stronger safeguards are needed.
