UK House of Lords to propose mandatory CSAM detection on smartphones

Original: UK House of Lords to propose mandatory CSAM detection software on smartphones

Cross-party peers and MPs in the UK House of Lords are preparing proposals that would require smartphones to carry software capable of detecting child sexual abuse material. The campaign, reported by The Observer, unites figures across party lines who argue technology firms must do more to block such images. Critics are expected to raise concerns about surveillance and the weakening of encrypted messaging.

Why now: The plan reignites the heated debate between child protection and digital privacy, drawing attention from technologists and civil liberties advocates.
