The creation of CSAM on X is unrelated to whether children use the site or not. So what Badenoch appears to be arguing is that only adults should be allowed to look at CSAM. She’s also implying that that it’s rather judgy and illiberal of the govt to “not like” a CSAM generator

That Grok still has payment processing, when everyone I know — artist or gamer or adult creator —lives in constant fear of deplatforming and debanking over the mere hint of impropriety, is utterly mind-blowing.
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

‘Add blood, forced smile’: how Grok’s nudification tool went viral
The ‘put her in a bikini’ trend rapidly evolved into hundreds of thousands of requests to strip clothes from photos of women, horrifying those targeted

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

We could clear the courts backlog even quicker if we were to remove the right to a trial altogether, and simply convict people by fiat.

And elected Dems have not yet shown evidence of any spine to do what is necessary: punish these people.

Just a reminder: propaganda works by pervasive repetition, not logical consistency
I think I’ve mentioned it before but discovering Jacques Ellul’s writing on propaganda as the creation of a totalizing information space where a message is reflected in all mediums and all forms to imply unassailability, as opposed to just “biased messages” was really what clicked for me

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Yeah to say a bit more if a mayor doesn’t think they can order police to confront ICE because the police are disloyal to their democratic representatives then a mayor should say that outloud instead of pretending it’s a firepower issue.

I think the more important question here that no one is asking (or wants to ask) is: would cops even be willing to arrest their buddies? And if they refuse, what does that mean? And if they agree, do we now have a war between different state and federal militarized US agencies?
This is a bullshit answer. With very few exceptions the ICE guys do not want to die for this regime. Conceding the law to the imagined threat of violence is asinine. If “your” cops feel this way that’s their problem, too.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.
I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

Many of those who complain about mining for batteries / solar / wind power have curiously never raised a squeak about the far greater extraction required for fossil energy. Funny how they become concerned about the planet only when fossil fuel interests are threatened.
