requiring the protection to be added to all phones and tablets sold in the UK
As long as it isn’t sold preinstalled in the UK (and: specifically on phones and tablets! What is even the definition of a tablet, is a convertible laptop a tablet…), it might or might not remain legal to distribute custom ROMs there?
Last time this type of detection software was mooted, for child sex abuse images, it used small squares of the image against a known model of such images, which meant sending it off to a server via background scanning.
I guess this could use skin, nipple, and genital detection using a similar model. Which sounds shit, prone to false positives, and easy to circumvent.
Would it upload images for manual checking it wasn’t sure of? That was how the pedo scanner would work.
Would have to assume if passed, this would mean graphene OS would have to leave the UK? No way they would implement age verification.
In terms of the actual nuditity detection, my understanding its done locally? Since it would be a fairly small model.
I mean, whoever knows…

A grapheneOS user already got banned from playstation because of age verification for using that OS and reported to the police: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/36134-grapheneos-user-reported-to-authorities-for-using-grapheneos Kier wants to restrict us to Windows and Apple only
