Elon Musk’s X has been facing fresh heat from authorities across Europe after its Grok artificial intelligence system produced a string of nude deepfakes that included depictions of undressed minors.

Meanwhile, MEP Billy Kelleher says the powers exist right now to temporarily suspend Grok while the Commission investigates.
"Our political leaders must grasp this issue once and for all. We have the power to act but it seems we don’t have the bravery to act."

Bizarre comments from the Minister who isn't committing to anything. It was supposed to start construction this year. We need firm commitments now, not vague statements designed to confuse people about what's happening.

There are real people, real women, real girls whose images have been edited by grok at the request of users.
This is not some fictionalised, nebulous harm.

To give you some context about how bad this is, Zhipu made $27 million in revenue in the first 6 months of this year and had a net loss of $334 million. This means that Zhipu has less than a year before it runs out of money entirely

To be clear, we decided a month ago that we had to quit twitter.
It was going to be a slower process, but the platform being used to generate child sexual images, and sexual harassment images, meant we had to do it immediately.

In December, the Green Party Executive Committee agreed that the Party would move away from posting on X, a move that began in the New Year. @rodericogorman.bsky.social is no longer posting on the platform since the decision in December.

Imagine if your house was burgled and you had to pay €100,000 to bring the perpetrator to justice. Nobody would think this is right.

Financial barriers to environmental litigation are against the law, because protecting the environment is an important public interest.
The government now wants to make it super expensive (>€100,000) for ordinary people to go to court to protect the environment
