Keir Starmer told it's 'SHAMEFUL' he has to 'beg big tech' to stop child sex abuse imagery

Sir Keir Starmer has been told to STOP “begging tech companies to protect children from nude imagery on their mobile phones and start acting”.

Lib Dems education spokeswoman Munira Wilson blasted the PM in an address to the House of Commons on Monday evening, saying: “We see a Prime Minister who spent months completely disengaged from the digital threats facing our young people, suddenly experiencing an 11th-hour Damascene conversion.

The comments came after the Prime Minister gave Apple and Google a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones.

The Government wants firms to activate built-in features on their devices or come up with technological solutions on phones and tablets to detect and block such content.

It means all adults will need to verify their age if they want to take or view nude images.
