UK urges tech firms to ban harmful content
The British government has urged technology companies such as Apple and Google to block inappropriate content from children under the age of 18 on phones and smart devices. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called on these companies to activate or update their operating systems to prevent children from capturing, sharing, or viewing unsuitable content. He also announced a plan to implement mandatory legislation if companies do not comply within three months, which could include fines or criminal liability. Additionally, the Home Secretary emphasized that companies must take automatic measures to protect children. The government confirmed that these changes will apply to both existing and new devices within the United Kingdom.
