Can the world’s first smartphone that auto-blocks nude content help to create a safer online space for children? A Finnish phone company has dialled up the last word in kid-friendly mobiles: a handset that automatically stops nude images from being displayed or taken. Parents can allow children access to apps when they feel they are ready, and manage use via an app on their own device. The tech, developed by UK firm SafeToNet, scans content in real time, instantly blocking pornography, deleting files that contain nudity and stopping the camera from taking nude images. “We believe this is a huge step forward in making a safer phone,” said James Robinson, HMD’s vice president.
