Grok isn’t cognizant. It can’t “say” anything. Elon Musk’s technology company is breaking the law and you aren’t holding him to account.

I am curious as to who the "stakeholders" are who are preventing the UK government from acting against a white supremacist pornographer?
If the British government, and indeed other governments, can’t muster a fast and strong response to Twitter adding a facility enabling users to create and share AI child sexual abuse material then not sure what Musk could ever do that would actually provoke a response.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.
NEW: People are using Elon Musk's chatbot, Grok, to alter images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

Several French government ministers have reported the unlawful production of sexualised material without consent to the police and prosecutors. The UK government, which published a high profile strategy on misogyny just before Christmas, has yet to say or do anything

Exactly this!!! I do admit to a FB account as I belong to several special interest groups but have left Twitter behind.
The adults have spent an entire year or more telling everyone that phones and social media is bad
And yet not a single one of those very people can remove themselves from a social media app that is causing harm
It speaks volumes. And btw the kids aren’t on twitter, or Facebook. It is the ADULTS
