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.

Why are people apparently arguing about whether Trump’s illegal invasion and bigger warmongering threats are an evil all on their own that must be fought, or an attempted distraction from Epstein and Trump’s huge grocery and health care cost increases. Doesn’t seem like a leap to conclude it’s both.

An immensely tired & uninformed take.
Canada currently:
- exports >4x Venezuelan crude shipments
- that supply is linked to American refineries by pipelines that travel one direction (south)
- no one is rushing into Venezuela to roll the dice *again* on whoever replaces Maduro

With the US becoming a rogue nation, almost every small nation will be exploring a nuclear weapons program.
With the unstable aggressive Christo-fascist US state to our south, Canada needs a modest nuclear weapons capability as a deterrent to America's insane use of its obscene conventional army.

The evil speaker Maga Mike Johnson famously said that he first believed he was called by God to be Aaron (helper to Moses) but then believed himself a new Moses.
Aaron would be a partially accurate comparison in that, like Aaron, Johnson created a golden idol (Trump/MAGA) to corrupt Christians.

I hadn't realized how lacking the US is in basic employment laws.
In Canada workers get a minimum of two weeks paid vacation (3 after 5 yrs) & typically 11 paid holidays (though by province it can vary from 6 to 14). Europe is better.
In the US only a few states have any laws about paid time off.
