“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.”

      Of course it is, because nobody is willing to try and quantify or qualify the harms that seeing pornography has on a young person. It’s just “adult content” so we’ll go so far as to put VR headsets on everyone and ask them to verify their age or else they get a PG, low-polygon representation of reality!
