In other nudes: Google’s new Android shield blocks your NSFW photos

Android's Photo Picker is set to receive an enhancement called the Sensitive Content Warning (SCW), which is currently operational in Google Messages. The SCW automatically blurs images or videos that may contain nudity and is designed to protect users from sharing explicit content. Google is working to integrate this tool into the broader Photo Picker ecosystem, potentially extending its protective capabilities to various applications. The SCW functions as an on-device scanner that identifies explicit content, providing warnings before sending and automatically blurring incoming media. The feature is automatically activated for Supervised users, such as young children, while parents can disable it for teenagers aged 13 to 17. Although the SCW aims to enhance monitoring of shared content, media can still be transmitted as files, which may bypass these protections.

More Android apps could soon save you from sending accidental nudes

Google is enhancing Android's Photo Picker by integrating its on-device Sensitive Content Warning system, which aims to prevent users from unintentionally sharing explicit content like nudity through third-party applications. This system has already been implemented in Google Messages, where it detects and blurs explicit images and videos while keeping user data private. Recent code discoveries in the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 indicate that this feature will be integrated into the Photo Picker, allowing apps to check for nudity in selected media before sharing. This integration could help protect users, especially minors, from sharing inappropriate content and may include age-based restrictions for applications using the Photo Picker. However, users can still bypass these safeguards by sending images directly as files.

Big Walk devs talk the Australian bush and friendslop: ‘I’d prefer the second word wasn’t slop’

Big Walk is a co-op online game that encourages players to solve puzzles together with friends. It is part of a trend referred to as "friendslop," which emphasizes games that are enjoyable for groups of friends. Nico Disseldorp from House House supports the concept of friendslop, highlighting the importance of social interaction in gaming. In contrast, Christopher Livingston describes Big Walk as a "joyous jaunt" through a world filled with thoughtfully-designed puzzles, suggesting it focuses on creativity and collaboration rather than fitting into the friendslop category.
