Government seeks “nudity-detection algorithms” in iOS and Android, report says.

“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.”

    Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that shit was on my phone. Deleted.

    If you happen to remember the second app name, please post it.

      The other one is Android System Key Verifier, for that I’m not totally sure it’s malware but as it have access to your end to end encrypted keys and the way it’s secretly installed seems shady to me. Looks like a way for Google to intercept end to end encrypted messages for me.

          I’m not totally sure I barely use Google Messages except for verification codes, I prefer to uninstall it preventing it from having any access to my local end to end encrypted keys for other apps. but it’s up to you I guess.
