> The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) It should be called the Ministry of Truth at this point. > Unwanted How do you know if a nude is unwanted? The premise itself makes no sense. The only way this could potentially work is if you had the whole context of the relationship somehow embedded in the messages and then if you deciphered the intent behind the messages. Even then what about sarcas…
>How do you know if a nude is unwanted? The premise itself makes no sense If the app has sufficient permissions to infer user demographics a sufficiently jaded person should be able to come up with a set of rules that get you a 99% solution pretty easily.
In the future, phones will refuse to take pictures of dicks unless men register their height and income levels so that useful and relevant information can be added to the image metadata.

#33Tech industry walked right into this one, well done Musk.
UK government publicly making a fool of itself is probably not counter to the interests of Elon Musk at all... His political faction have been keen to insult the British government whenever possible. The more absurd their public enemies act, the more reasonable they look in comparison.
Musk is implicitly allowing child pornography on his platform. There's no way around that. Apple/Google should have removed X a while ago.

Come on now. That's obviously not true. CSAM is absolutely banned on twitter, and all other American platforms.

#35> To meet the law’s demands, companies are expected to rely heavily on automated scanning systems, content detection algorithms, and artificial intelligence models trained to evaluate the legality of text, images, and videos in real time.
this means either devices need to evolve to do this locally, or the items need to be sent to external service providers, usually based outside of the UK, to scan them unencrypted
I also assume this means the government here in the UK are okay with all whatsapp messages they send to be sent to an LLM to scan them for legality, outside the UK?

#36> The UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) unveiled the changes through a promotional video showing a smartphone scanning AirDropped photos and warning the user that an “unwanted nude” had been detected. "Unwanted"

Oh this is a very loaded statement if I've ever seen one. What's your issue with the "demographic of your street" and what does it have to do with scanning your messages?
Re: UK Expands Online Safety Act to Mandate Preemptive Scanning
#39So wait - would this be something like... you trying to send a dickpic via WhateverMessenger, the content would be scanned first and you would be presented with a message along the lines of "This message cannot be sent as it violates our T&Cs"?
scanned locally or externally? that's what i care about
Don't buy into the framing. No scanning at all is what I care about.

Preferably not scanned at all
