New law to force tech firms to stop children taking or sharing nude images

New law to force tech firms to stop children taking or sharing nude images — comic strip

The script

Panel 1

Alex, an optimistic inventor with a bright smile, is talking to Sam and Robin in a tech company conference room. Sam (sighs, deadpan) Robin (excitedly)

Alex: We've cracked it! The solution to child nudity on the internet is so simple... Tech firms just need to make nude images disappear automatically!

Sam: That's not going to work, Alex. Tech firms will find a way to make them disappear quickly, and then the kiddos will just create new ones.

Robin: Oh, but that would be chaos! They'd just make the content even more vibrant and share it faster!

Panel 2

Cut to a room with various tech company gadgets and monitors. Alex (excitedly) Sam (looking at his smartphone) Robin (grinning mischievously)

Alex: We can use filters and AI to detect and destroy nude images! Kids won't even know what hit them!

Sam: And the kids? Well, they might just start using more obscure codes and encryption methods.

Robin: Or, they might just start playing video games instead of using phones and cameras!

Panel 3

Sam (serious face) Alex (excited) Robin (laughing)

Sam: What about... sending a warning message to parents of those who share nude images of children? So they can stop their kids.

Alex: That's brilliant, Sam! And we can add a system to detect and report tech firms who try to bypass our system. They won't know what hit them!

Robin: Or, what if we just start teaching kids about the importance of consent and boundaries, like we do with other things? That might actually work in the long run.

Panel 4

Cut to the conference room again, the group is looking at the whiteboard with a thoughtful expression. Sam (nodding) Robin (nodding, eyes sparkling)

Alex: We might have hit upon something. How about we propose this as a community-wide initiative? We can all work together, tech companies, parents, educators, and lawmakers.

Sam: It's worth a shot, I guess. Let's not forget the real solution is education, but this could make a big difference in the meantime.

Robin: And what if we can make it into a fun video game where kids learn these important lessons? That would be the ultimate win.
