Nandy Threatens Apple, Google With Law To Block Nude Images
Apple and Google get to keep control: finish the blocking tools promised in June, and London drops the bill.
- The bill applies only if Apple and Google fail to finish tools begun in June.
- 91% of child sexual abuse images are self-generated by children, her statement says.
- About 9,000 UK offences a year involve online abuse; one in four blackmail victims are minors.
Why it matters: A bill designed to be withdrawn is leverage, not law: the scanner ships either way.
