In the UK, the rules for children's access to explicit content have been tightened

The UK intends to introduce measures that will restrict access of minors to materials with nude images on digital devices. This was announced on June 9 on the website of the British government.

"The UK will become the first country in the world where it is impossible for children to take, share or watch nude photos on their devices," the statement said.

It is assumed that the new requirements will apply to smartphone manufacturers and developers of digital services. They will be required to implement tools that prevent children from viewing, creating, and distributing such content.

The initiative is aimed at strengthening the protection of minors on the Internet and on mobile devices. The authorities expect that the new restrictions will help to increase the level of safety of children in the digital environment.
