As if you needed another reason to leave the child sex imagery site known as X, here’s how it tracks you and gets into your privacy online and it goes far far beyond your activity that one app. This info buried at the bottom of its entry in the App Store.

Can ministers expect civil servants to continue to use a platform that is breaking Irish law for official communications? Is it not a breach of a civil servant's obligations under the Code of Conduct?

![Social media platform X is “breaking the law” by facilitating the generation of explicit images of women and child sexual abuse images (CSAM), AI minister Niamh Smyth has said.
Ms Smyth said it is “deeply worrying” that explicit images have been shared on X, while also criticising the social media firm for allowing their generation through its AI chatbot Grok.
The AI minister said it is a “criminal offense” to distribute CSAM, both real and computer generated images.
“As far as I’m concerned, the law has been broken here in Ireland,” Ms Smyth told RTÉ radio.
“I would say X is, as I said, facilitating [it]. It is its AI chatbot creating this imagery and facilitating these shocking, outrageous images to be created in the first place.
“Then it is the platform X that are allowing it to be disseminated among the public.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:soimfvdqqoieabdpxtlt3mxz/bafkreibrol446ptiebpmkp6nwxdurfbz26mt3ikzxcieyjgm6c5pr4iwxu@jpeg)
