We do not republish articles from GB News. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on gbnews.com (opens in a new tab)GB News reports a cross-party call by Jess Phillips and Lord Nash, backed by an International Justice Mission white paper, for on-device blocking of child sexual abuse material on every device sold in Britain. It attributes the demand to the politicians and campaigners who made it and gives both the support and opposition figures from the poll, though it does not name who ran the poll. It also includes the warning from online rights groups and the Government's response.
“a group of politicians and campaigners have declared”
The opening demand is attributed to the people making it rather than stated in the outlet's own voice, and the headline's 'urged' matches it.
“80 per cent of people support technology blocking abuse being installed on their devices, with five per cent opposed”
The poll is given with both the support and the opposition figure, so the reader sees the full result rather than one share.
“Online rights groups have previously warned that implementing the legislation would result in every adult being forced through a "digital ID checkpoint", with private images scanned by default”
The article gives space to the privacy objection to device-level scanning, so the campaigners' case does not stand alone.
