UK’s Starmer gives Apple, Google 3 months to stop children sending nude images
Actually, yeah. That offloads the responsibility to the parents. I think that solution actually works...
Make it illegal for their parents to give them phones and computing devices that can send and receive pictures. Problem solves.
No but seriously education for both parents and children. Because while I do believe these companies play their role in how children interact online and what they interact with, I don't believe they're going to be able to stop anyone from sending something or receiving something they want to send without invasive and possibly traumatic tactics that will effect people regardless of age group.

Nah. They haven't been blocked because the entire site is based on anonymity and the whole of their business operations don't involve the country in question.
How do you moderate a site when most of the user base are anonymous and don't sign up for accounts? There's nothing to link them back to. How do you prove a child sent anything or received anything with no account? How do you build a paper trail that would support the case against 4chan?

I don't know how likely the second one is. But both can be true.

And collect data on everyone including children while pointing to the law and saying that have to which enriches them more and more as time goes on.
They aren't even going to fight it. The like the idea of being able to gather more information on people. They'll say "it's just to make sure they aren't of age yet so we can keep them safe until we can legally show them ads and stuff that they're no longer protected from". They aren't fighting against laws like this. They're lobbying for them.
