Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

@signalapp Propose a solution then. The current situation is untenable, and action is needed. Governments rely on experts to help shape policy. Given your expertise, pick up the phone and start advising.
@leewalton My solution is for parents/guardians to do what they signed up to do when they had a child, independently provide them boundaries and rules to protect and educate them.

@mychalshade @leewalton I don't think this is said enough.. As a parent, I support this thinking and approach. Too many people blame either the police, government or anyone else but themselves.

Educating children, gaining their trust and setting boundaries works
