A new app called 'Gallery Guardian' has been launched, responding to the risks involved with young people sending or receiving explicit photos. The app scans through every image a child takes or receives on their device then, using an image recognition algorithm, automatically detects any images that include nudity. If something is detected, the app sends an alert to the phone of the young person's parent or carer, without saving or showing the image.
We were recently invited to speak to a group of youth practitioners from the Anglican Diocese of Southwark as part of their Living Faith series.
