Ofcom has decided to open a formal investigation to establish whether X has failed to comply with its legal obligations under the Online Safety Act " in particular, to:
-assess the risk of people in the UK seeing content that is illegal in the UK, and to carry out an updated risk assessment before making any significant changes to their service;
-take appropriate steps to prevent people in the UK from seeing priority' illegal content " including non-consensual intimate images and CSAM;
-take down illegal content swiftly when they become aware of it;
-have regard to protecting users from a breach of privacy laws;
-assess the risk their service poses to UK children, and to carry out an updated risk assessment before making any significant changes to their service; and
-use highly effective age assurance to protect UK children from seeing pornography.

The world's richest man, good-for-nothing Felon Musk, has also been stoking racial tensions in the UK. The mega-oligarch posted pathetic apologies and weak defenses of X and Grok AI:

The UK is doing more than the US to rein in our evil oligarch overlords.

Encroyable.

For all of the talk of fascism, it's exactly what the UK has become in regards to speech, be it online or in person.

Hey Dingaling.

The UK is NOT part of the United States.

They have different free speech standards. That does not make them "facists".

That makes them different. Some of their actually laws are better than ours. Some are worse.

I suggest you don't live there and don't try to do business there if you don't like their rules.

The UK views free speech as a right to be balanced against other rights (like safety), leading to more restrictions (e.g., hate speech, Online Safety Act), while the US prioritizes near-absolute speech under the First Amendment, creating a more permissive environment but potentially less protection for vulnerable groups.

Do you know what's being investigated?

"Grok AI chatbot account on X being used to create and share undressed images of people - which may amount to intimate image abuse or pornography - and sexualised images of children that may amount to child sexual abuse material"

This is, and should be, against the law. Shouldn't it?

If you have been paying attention, their "restrictions" are draconian to the point of being fascist, no matter how they try to paint what they are doing.

"This is, and should be, against the law. Shouldn't it?

Yes, it probably should be against the law and if the UK was limiting their crackdowns to just this I'd be fine with it. Regrettably, they are not.

**** California Attorney General Rob Bonta Investigating Felon Musk's xAI ***

"The avalanche of reports detailing the non-consensual sexually explicit material that xAI has produced and posted online in recent weeks is shocking," CAG Rob Bonta said in a statement.

"I urge xAI to take immediate action to ensure this goes no further. We have zero tolerance for the AI-based creation and dissemination of nonconsensual intimate images or of child sexual abuse material."

Felon Musk: ""I not aware of any naked underage images generated by Grok. Literally zero. Obviously, Grok does not spontaneously generate images, it does so only according to user requests. When asked to generate images, it will refuse to produce anything illegal, as the operating principle for Grok is to obey the laws of any given country or state. There may be times when adversarial hacking of Grok prompts does something unexpected. If that happens, we fix the bug immediately."
