May the good blood guide your way.
I assume there is a line where someone does something so bad with it that action gets taken. Not there yet apparently.
Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

This was always the core proposition of right wing politics: there are special people who matter who have basically unlimited freedom, and that freedom includes a duty to batter fuck out of anyone who threatens their special status. This is what happens when the slider moves all the way right.

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

I don't usually scold for staying on X: they're adults, they can decide. But it is worth pointing out that staying there and seeing those pics of kids exposes you to a very real legal risk. "Receiving an image" can include seeing it on social media - screenshot from www.cps.gov.uk/prosecution-...

I mean they do lose when their polls go down. Belief and nerve aren't much use in winning elections if no one votes for you.
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)
“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

I mean, at this point a "counter narrative" on X is an image of a fully clothed child
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

I have a hunch that if you or I were running a website doing this the "urgent contact" would involve door rams and handcuffs so I struggle to see why it can't be slightly more pugnacious than this.
Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says
