英国首相ケイ・スタマーは、アップルやグーグルなどのテクノロジー企業に対し、9月までに子供が露骨な画像を撮影したり共有したり見たりできないようにする装置レベルの保護機能を導入するよう Ultimatum を出しました。英国で販売されるすべてのスマートフォンやタブレットにその保護機能を追加する法律が施行されない場合は、企業は罰金を受け、最高経営責任者も刑事責任を負う可能性があります。
この提案はオンライン安全法とともに実施され、違法または子供にとって害がある内容の削除プロセスを有していることを要求します。ケイ首相は「これは不可能なチャレンジではない」と述べ、「それらが選択しない場合でも、私たちは行動し、法律を変更する」と宣言しました。
この問題に取り組むため、コムーンで活動するメアリー・ウォード議員は「ソーシャルメディア企業が製品を安全にするのではなく、代わりに規制を通じてそれを要求すべきだ」と述べました。エルサムとチシャーズウッドの労働党議員クライヴ・エフォードも、「ソーシャルメディアプラットフォームを運営する者は子供の福祉には全く関心がなく、彼らに聞かせる唯一のメッセージは法整備だ」と述べました。
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has given Apple, Google, and other tech firms until September to introduce device-level protections that prevent children from taking, sharing, or viewing explicit images. "If businesses do not comply within three months, legislation will be brought forward requiring the protection to be added to all phones and tablets sold in the UK," reports The Guardian. "Tech firms that fail to do so could face fines, and their senior managers could be made criminally liable." From the report: "Today, I am calling on tech companies operating in this country to introduce vice controls that prevent children from sending and receiving sexually explicit images. Because this is not an impossible challenge," he said. "If they choose not, then we will act and we will change the law." [...] Under the changes, sexual predators will be prevented from being able to exploit and abuse victims through their devices, and children stopped from being able to access pornography, the Home Office said. Adults will still be able to take, share or view nude content once they have verified their age.
In the Commons, Melanie Ward, the Labour MP for Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy, said: "It's time to stop asking social media companies to make their products safe, and instead time to start requiring them to do so through regulation." Clive Efford, the Labour MP for Eltham and Chislehurst, said the "sociopaths" running social media platforms had no concern for the welfare of children. "The only message that they're going to listen to is if there's legislation put before this house that is going to act and send a clear message to them." The proposal is designed to sit alongside the Online Safety Act, which requires companies to have processes for removing material that is illegal or harmful to children.
