It's almost like the App and Play Stores have never been about moderation or keeping users safe, they've been about control and taxing developers wherever possible

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

We're at the "Don't go out in public if you have brown skin because you might be murdered or kidnapped" stage of white supremacist fascism.
Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez: "Many of our immigrants neighbors are picked up simply by moving their cars. Help your neighbors take out the trash, because there are many reports of neighbors being kidnapped when they're taking their trash out."

Yes it was and if you shouted about it at the time there was any number of people willing to tell you it was 'alternative news' and 'no different to the BBC' and free speech
Highly effective propaganda and Putin was literally laughing at us as the damage was done.
Very similar to the X situation.

Insane that we had Russia Today on freeview for so many years.
Kremlin propaganda piped directly into UK homes.
A dereliction of national security.

So it was always entirely within the control of X, and not just poor old Grok being subjected to illegal demands by perverted users.
So all images produced so far could have been prevented.
So take X to court.

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.
