Summary of Recent Measures Against Nudifying Apps
The UK government is taking significant steps to protect children from harm associated with nudifying apps, responding to mounting pressure from child protection charities.
- Key Highlights:
- 19% of youth reporting explicit images have found their content manipulated.
- The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) is leading the charge, emphasizing the dangers of these apps.
- Concrete measures aim to prevent children from taking, sharing, or viewing nude images, ensuring a safer online environment.
Kerry Smith, CEO of IWF, calls these apps a threat to child safety: “They have no reason to exist.” Meanwhile, the NSPCC has expressed concern over the lack of robust measures for device-level protection against Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
In an age where AI plays a crucial role, we must prioritize the safety of our youngest users.
