one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

If Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton had openly threatened to seize the territory of our NATO allies, Jake Tapper & every other CNN anchor would do nothing but point out how wildly illegal this is, how massively it endangers US national security, & how it is grounds for immediate impeachment.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

Don't have to read this because I already know Trump wants Greenland because it looks big on a Mercator projection map and that's it. Other reasons proffered are ancillary.
President Trump reiterated on Sunday that he wants to take over Greenland, prompting Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark to urge him to “stop the threats” to annex the semiautonomous Danish territory.
Why Trump Wants Greenland
President Trump has reiterated his interest in annexing Denmark’s semiautonomous territory, saying it is vital for America’s national security.

I made the argument earlier that Trump's attacks on Greenland were more important than Katie Miller's obnoxious map, but that both likely reflected them parroting what Miller has been saying to them.

The logic that "we can do what we want in our backyards" is also China's and Russia's justification for territorial expansion. It is based on no principle other than the most powerful countries can do what they want.
Trump is framing this as a law enforcement operation so he doesn’t need congressional authorization.
He’s not defending our country. He’s defending his grip on power with endless wars.
“American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”
