LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) —  Tech giants must stop children in Britain from being able to send and receive nude images on their devices, or be forced to do so by law, the government said Monday.

Britain’s interior ministry said it was giving companies, including Apple and Google three months to introduce safety features to block children from taking and accessing naked photos on phones and tablets.

If they do not, the government will introduce legislation to “force them to activate the technology”, the Home Office said in a statement.
