Keir Starmer BANS explicit photos on children's phones as he makes Apple and Google demand

Описание: Keir Starmer has called on tech giants to prohibit the sending or receiving of nude photos on their smartphones.

In a major speech at London Tech Week, the PM gave firms like Apple and Google an ultimatum to act. He said they will be required to activate built-in features or bring in solutions to block explicit images on millions of devices used by children. Mr Starmer said the software giants have a moral responsibility to protect youngsters from online predators and prevent child sex abuse.

He said: "When it comes to the safety of our children, standing by is not an option."

It comes amid speculation that a ban on under-16s using social media could be announced within weeks. Law enforcement agencies warn urgent action is needed to tackle sextortion - which sees young people pressured into sharing explicit images and then being blackmailed.
