Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.

Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.

Apple already has the capability to alert parents if a nude photo is detected. They do this detection on-device.

    Only for apple apps, it doesn't scan the entire device.

    Messages, FaceTime, and AirDrop

    Google has something similar I believe for Google Messages

    Also they have to verify if the person using the device is a child if they want to implement this on the entire device.
