Ministers warn platform could be blocked after Grok AI used to create sexual images without consent
Why is it important that people use X? Try answering that again, Elon. You fumbled the last time.

Possibly for the same reason they were (are) trying to ban e2ee
Nah, they’re not trying to ban end to end encryption because of AI deepfakes and (unofficially) for being a cesspool of barely regulated pro-fascist disinformation.
They’re trying to ban e2ee to return to the old world (as in before the widespread adoption of the internet) order of them being able to monitor and control every second of every aspect of every citizen’s life.
The UK government has never been very keen on privacy, except when it comes to their own financial corruption and grift.
Go die in a battery fire you fascist cunt.
False advertising. Free speech is not what artificially amplified fake news is.
They sometimes coincide though.
E.g. nostr offers free speech but has such a small user base / dev community, it’s easy for fake news to use manipulative tactics for artificial amplification
It’s been temporarily banned in Indonesia. It could spread to other countries. Here’s hoping.
Purposely having weak guardrails when you know it’s to protect against pornographic deepfakes and child pornography should put them in prison, not just ban the service.
No, chat bot operators should be put in prison for killing people.
“Pornographic deepfakes” are only something you need “protection from” if you’re against adulthood.
You’re letting the authorities infantilize you yet again
Preventing the spread of pornographic deepfakes is simply an extension of very reasonable existing laws banning revenge porn..
Deepfakes in general should have significant legal regulation around them as an extension of libel/slander/defamation/disinformation laws. Imagine if you pissed the wrong person off, and they generated a bunch of deepfake videos of you cruelly killing dogs, then circulated them around to your friends, family, or potential employers. Or imagine if a politician campaigning for reform has a deepfake video generated where they argue in favor of pedophilia.
No, I’m recognizing the limitations of the law and technology and accountability.
You’re letting your beliefs to trick you into thinking they are facts and that you’re right while everyone else is wrong. It comes off as rude.
Limitations of the law and technology?
No, limitations of criminal gangs that pose as government and sabotage technological development.
There’s no actual law against arresting unjustified homicide perpetrators. Tech billionaires aren’t magically immune to classic handcuff technology.
He could disable ‘spicy’ mode at any time if he wanted to, so the free speech he is talking about is definitely CSAM and not politics.
Elon: my child porn generator counts as free speech
Classic idiots caring more about pedo stuff than literal matters of life or death
No response when chat bots kill people, only when they make “the wrong kind of” porn
How are chat bots killing people?
There’s no such thing as child porn, only child sexual abuse material.
But yes, its fucked up that nothing is done when chatbots are causes of death. That should absolutely also be a catalyst for change.
We do want to prevent free speech.
We also have good reason to block far right US psy ops from operating in the UK.
Both of these things can be true.
But then wouldn’t you do that instead of targeting an image generator?
It seems we lack the courage for number 2 on its own merit.
Maybe when Greenland is invaded…
Good luck. I don’t think it’s a good early sign that countries (anywhere on earth) are starting with banning porn generators after letting suicide provocation bots go with no bans + no arrests.
I don’t think it’s exactly because of free speech, why didn’t they ban 4chan then
True but also fuck off.
