The government has announced a sweeping "crackdown" on tech firms to protect children from illegal content. It will include measures to eliminate "vile illegal content created by AI," and could even open the door to an Australia-style age limit on social media, a Number 10 spokesperson said. It also promises to shut down the loophole that has allowed chatbots to produce illegal content. On Sunday Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said "no platform gets a free pass" from the new restrictions.
