Technology giants say about abuse of children’s nationality, says Australia technology

The recommendations of the Commissioner for Technology Companies include the measures that have been criticized on the basis of privacy.

The Internet Monitoring Authority in Australia accused TECL giants including Google and Apple of failing to take action against sexual assault on children on the Internet on their platforms.

In a report released on Wednesday, Islamic Safety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said that technology platforms fail to implement various measures to protect children, including surveying cloud services for well -known materials for the well -known and using language analysis tools to detect sexual extortion attempt in correspondence services.

Grant said that Apple and YouTube, owned by Google, also failed to track reports on sexual assault on children and could not specify the time it took to respond to the reports they received.

“It indicates that when they were left to their own devices, these companies do not give priority to protecting children and seem to turn a blind eye to the crimes that occur in their services,” Grant said in a statement.

“We need to maintain pressure on the technology industry as a whole to raise their responsibility for protecting the most vulnerable members of society from the most terrible forms of damage, and this is what these periodic notifications are designed to encourage them.”

Grant added that the companies have taken a few steps to improve their efforts since he asked them three years ago, “despite the promise of artificial intelligence to address these damages and overwhelming evidence that sexual exploitation of children via the Internet is high.”

She said: “No other industry facing the consumer will be granted a license to work by enabling such heinous crimes against children in their places or services.”

Google has opposed the report’s results, saying that she was rooted in “reporting standards, not online safety” and that more than 99 percent of YouTube abuse materials are automatically removed before marking.

“The child’s safety is crucial for us,” said a Google spokesman.

“We have led us to fight the industry against sexual assault materials since the first day, and to invest intense in advanced technology to find this harmful content and remove it proactively.”

Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Snap and Discord did not respond, which were also included in the report, for suspension requests.

Although it is important for authorities to take measures against child treatment via the Internet, some tools supported by the Internet Control Authority will provoke serious civil freedoms and privacy concerns.

Solston said that wiping live calls and private messages will require the platforms for coding from one side, which prevents the display of communications by anyone regardless of the sender and the future.

“This is a fatal invasion of privacy for all people who use innocent and completely reasonable service,” Solston told Al -Jazeera.

“It also has serious effects on the excerpt, as users of this service will undergo monitoring from hostile actors-foreign governments, criminals and infiltrators. This is a great danger to civil society, activists, journalists and anyone who communicates on the Internet.

He added: “The encryption break to increase the monitoring is not appropriate and dangerous.”

“We do not expect the post office to open all messages and read them to illegal content – in fact, most countries have laws specifically against this.”
