A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made.
In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’.
I have 0 regrets about that message.

He claims to have used one himself. Our analysis shows it doesn’t work. And if he really used it, he owes HMRC a substantial amount of tax.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.
