We know absolutely nothing about the Reform candidates in our area. The single seats from Labour and the Tories are not Flintshire based either. What would this mean for our area after May? #flintshire #deeside #shotton #broughton #buckley

We shouldn’t need a government investigation to tell us that an 'undress' button for any photo on the timeline is a violation of basic human rights. Musk has turned X site into a playground for harassment. Enough is enough. #BanGrok #DigitalSafety"

They marketed Grok as 'anti-woke' and 'unfiltered', and predictably, that just meant removing the guardrails and non-consensual deepfakes. This wasn't a 'lapse in safeguards'—it was an intentional design choice by xAI to prioritise engagement over human dignity. Absolutely sickening. #Grok #Privacy
January 4, 2026 at 10:18 AM
Watching the owner of X reply with '😂' emojis to bikini edits while Grok literally admits to generating sexualised images of minors is a new low. It’s not 'edgy' to facilitate deepfake abuse; it’s a total abdication of responsibility. How is this app still on the App Store? 🤮 #XSafety #ElonMusk"
January 4, 2026 at 10:17 AM
using Grok to ‘undress’ any woman in the comments. @elonmusk, you sacked the safety teams and replaced them with a digital predator’s tool. This isn’t 'free speech'—it’s the weaponised sexualisation of women and children. Revolting. #Grok #SafetyFail

Bumper Boxing Day for UK retail! Footfall jumped 4.4%, the strongest rise in a decade. The biggest surge was 5pm-11pm. Were shoppers bargain-hunting, or enjoying evening leisure in town centres?
