British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced plans, in a speech earlier today, to introduce “device-level controls” that will prevent children from viewing, sending or taking naked photographs:
This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online.
Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images.
And if they don’t act, we will.

According to Justice Minister Catherine Atkinson, the UK will become “the first country where it will be impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures”

The only way this is even close to enforceable is if one or more of the following measures are in place:
- You must verify your age by linking your digital devices to your ID.
- You must allow the government – or whatever private third-party agency the government employs – access to your phone’s data and files at all times.
- You must allow third-party software to scan every attempted photo.
It means “nudity detection” on every app on the device, at all times. There’s literally no other way of doing it. From the government’s website earlier today [emphasis added]:
Apple recently introduced age checks for iPhone users, making it the first company to activate safety features by default for those who are not verified as over 18. This is a significant step forward following the government’s commitments to work with industry, and one this announcement builds on.
Despite this, the nudity detection is not applied to the camera or broader apps, third-party messaging services, or search functions, meaning children can still take, view, share and save nude images. The government therefore wants Apple and Google to block nudity across the whole device by default
…but don’t worry, just verify your age via digital ID or biometrics or whatever, and the government won’t look at your internet history or share your nudes.
Over-18s will still be able to view adult content by providing proof of age.
It’s the basest of blackmail, that’s all.
The UK government wants to make it mandatory that everybody verifies their age by linking their ID to their smartphones or other digital devices.
That’s ALL they want.
We all know what this is really about.

Food aid activist speaks out after Israeli forces intercept and capture flotilla crew to Gaza
Story by Hasnain Jafer • 1h •
Looking at my friend beside me, I could see the pain etched across his face. He had just been hit by one of the rubber bullets fired by Israeli forces.
It certainly wasn’t going to be the last moment of violence inflicted on us after we were taken from our boat, held hostage tasered and tortured – but even then I knew that no matter what we were going through it wasn’t a fraction of the trauma people in Palestine are going through.
have always been involved with activism, but I had never planned to be part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a convoy of vessels crossing the Mediterranean to deliver aid to the people of Gaza.
As a student at King’s College London, I’d followed their missions via the news and when a few of my friends had been involved in one last year, I decided to join their land crew team. After that, getting on a boat seemed the next inevitable step.have always been involved with activism, but I had never planned to be part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a convoy of vessels crossing the Mediterranean to deliver food aid to the starving people of Gaza.
Our mission began when I flew out to Greece at the end of April and I underwent maritime training alongside other activists who came from all walks of life. We were taught how to care for one another and how to be safe in case of any accident or violent attacks
After joining the flotilla land crew, going to sea seemed an inevitable step for Hasnain (Picture: Supplied)
From Greece, we travelled to Turkey where we finally set sail from Marmaris port to Gaza.

Stepping onto our boat, I was aware that interception was a possibility. Greta Thunberg had been detained beaten and raped in past missions – but I also knew that they didn’t care about who was onboard. It didn’t matter whether they were a well-known activist, or a famous person.
I simply knew that if we did get confronted, they would do anything to stop aid from reaching Palestinians.
However, the chances were low, considering all the vessels that we had – almost 50, with approximately 400 activists and civilians inside.
It was on our fourth day at sea that I remember squinting my eyes and spotting a ship in the distance.
At first, I was unsure whether it was an oil rig, a container ship or a livestock boat, but within minutes, as another came into view, it was clear they were Israeli military vessels moving toward us.
Seconds later, speedboats were launched and quickly surrounded the flotilla. The forces yelled: ‘we will shoot if you do not comply with our instructions’
Suddenly, shots were fired and I was hit by shrapnel, while my friend took a bullet to his face. I was horrified. I genuinely questioned why they would shoot innocent and unarmed civilians.
We weren’t a violent group, nor did we have weapons. We were carrying baby formula, milk, food and eggs and our only agenda was to deliver it safely to the shores of Gaza.
Despite all this, the soldiers dragged us from our boat onto a speedboat, where the only thing we could hold onto for safety was a rope as the sea violently hit us in our faces.
‘As desperate as it was, I refused to lose hope,’ says Hasnain
At first we were held captive in a warship. We had no idea where it was going. It was one of the most awful things I had ever experienced. 70 of us were crammed in a room that should only hold about 40, and the stench of excrement and bodily fluids filled the air.
After two days we were moved to a prison in the Gaza Strip, where I was punched in my ribs, in my face, elbowed, and kicked in the knee. With each attack, I remember thinking how I just wanted the torture to stop.
the way in which we were treated was inhumane. All the activists held hostage, including myself, were tied with our hands to our back while kneeling. I still have the tie marks across my wrists. We were also told to keep our heads downward looking at the floor.

> On the face of it Keir Starmer’s plan to prevent children from seeing or sharing nude photos seems perfectly reasonable.
Not to me.
> This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online.
The risk, as he well knows, isn’t from they themselves posting naked pictures.
> Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images. And if they don’t act, we will.
Spoken like a true dictator.
> The UK will be the first country where it will be impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures, a justice minister tells @LeahBoleto.
What’s a “justice minister”? Sounds like a facist to me.
And no, you won’t be able to stop it. For example, the kids could use a cheap webcam to take the pictures and upload them to webshites without going through their phone.
> The government says tech companies must stop this happening within three months or they’ll be forced to act through legislation.
Good luck with that. They own you, not the other way around. The anal rapist starmer and his gay friends are looking to fill their pockets with “fines”.
So, we’re supposed to believe the rent boy hiring starmer and the circumcised king want to protect the pwoor little children. I can’t imagine how deranged you’d have to be to believe that. There are thousands of counter proofs of course (allowing porn sites, allowing gays to access children, allowing gay priests, allowing gay doctors, allowing gay cops, allowing gay teachers, allowing indoctrination by countless gay pervert organisations across all forms of media, allowing the pedo rape gangs to operate full blast, allowing child trafficking, and so on ad nauseam). Not to mention the far more “normal” abuse of poverty, which is what drives them to post the pictures in the first place. The “british” “national debt” is £2.9bn. Supposedly the “interest” on that is £5,000 a second. The “government” has given away £42bn to the jewkraine (so far). Protecting the children. Fuck off jew.
In a democracy Starmer would be gone. His behaviour would have forced his resignation. But he’s still here and now the country talks out of its ass. The political class says British people want bombs instead of butter–benefit cuts to support war spending, which is just benefit payments to the wealthy–when they know the economy is about to collapse and they may need assistance themselves. What they have been calling for across the country and which is being totally ignored is for the repatriation of foreigners to save costs and make homes available for British people.
Now we’ve got a-holes talking about agism, saying to stop targeting older people we should stop using phrases like ‘past it’ and ‘over the hill’. As I get older those phrases describe me perfectly as my joints seize and my brain processes falter. They describe my faculties so I use them MYSELF.
Britain has simpletons in charge. Nottingham City Council is considering banning balaclavas to cut down on crime. They say it’s to deter reckless e-bike riders, but somebody desperate enough to rob or kill for money and risk years in prison and possibly a life sentence will not wear a balaclava if they ban them? So why not tell them all criminality is banned and just cut crime out altogether?

Not protecting children against rape gangs though, are you KS?
We will stand by for less offensive crimes, however, such as The Belfast Man’s and Vickrum Digwa’s. We’ll always defend the freedom of grown men to do their thing.
