Spark has announced it will become New Zealand’s first internet provider to block all AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery, including cartoon-style and non-photorealistic material.
The company already blocks photorealistic AI abuse content and will expand its filters using URL lists from the Internet Watch Foundation, which reports a 400 percent rise in such material globally.

Why don’t they just block ALL a child abuse material not just the AI stuff. Furthermore how about blocking all porn? If spark can block this kind of stuff then why do we need digital IDs?
