UK Lords cross-party group plans bill to force CSAM detection on phones and tablets
What happened
A cross-party group in the UK House of Lords plans to put a proposal before Parliament requiring tech companies to preinstall detection software on all smartphones and tablets sold in the UK, to stop users viewing or generating child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The proposed blocking would also cover AI-generated material and could reach older devices through mandatory software updates. Reports so far describe a planned proposal; they do not say it has been submitted or that any requirement is in force.
