The UK government is forcing Apple and Google to block explicit content for under-18s on all devices sold in the country—within three months—or face fines and even criminal charges. With 91% of child sexual abuse cases in 2024 involving content created by kids and the average age of first exposure dropping to 13, officials are demanding tech giants implement age verification and safety tools by default. While Apple has already acted and Google says it’s working on privacy-focused solutions, the government is making it clear: child protection is non-negotiable, and inaction won’t be tolerated.
