"UK Cracks Down on Online Child Exploitation: Tech Giants Face Tight Deadline to Protect Minors In a bid to curb the growing problem of online child exploitation, the UK government has issued a stern warning to tech companies: stop minors from sending or receiving nude images within the next three months, or face severe consequences. The move comes in response to a surge in cases of child grooming and exploitation on social media platforms, with authorities increasingly concerned about the ease with which minors can access and share explicit content. As tech giants scramble to meet the deadline, some experts are suggesting that universal identity checks for phone users may be the only way forward in preventing minors from accessing adult content online."
