Senators Ron Wyden, Ben Ray Lujan, and Ed Markey just published an open letter urging Apple + Google to remove the X and Grok apps from their app stores:
www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...
Thousands of people on X are using Grok to create sexualized images of adults + minors wearing minimal clothing. This not only violates X's own content policy, it may violate the guidelines of Apple’s App Store and the Google Play store:

Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?
Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

The Netflix algorithm suggested it to me, it won some film awards at Sundance. It’s just really well done, I like the timeperiod setting, I’m fascinated by the history of logging, the characters and relationships are well portrayed by the actors. Overall, just enjoyable movie experience.

What happens when corruption just gets passed up the ladder to more corrupt courts?

In ICLT’s second podcast episode, Chris Armitage lays out why soft secession and interstate compacts may be one of the only remaining tools to force accountability at the federal level.
