John, Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok is generating on-demand, sexually-explicit images of real women and children. Now governments are twiddling their thumbs wondering what to do about it. It’s very simple: ban X. Grok has essentially turned X into a child porn website, so why aren’t we treating it as such? UK regulators are considering a ban on X. If they do ban the platform, other governments like the EU, Australia and Brazil could follow. But US Republicans are threatening sanctions on the UK about this, and British lawmakers are openly expressing their concern about how Trump will respond. That’s where we come in: let’s show overwhelming public support for the UK and others to pass a ban on X. How governments respond to this crisis now will set the precedent for years to come around AI-enabled sex abuse and other harms. After the public backlash, Elon Musk’s solution to the crisis wasn’t to prevent the chatbot from generating this content – it was to put the child porn generator behind a paywall! So if you want to create child porn based on real images of children, you gotta grease Musk’s pockets first. Musk is touting the same tired argument that banning X is an attack on free speech. This has nothing to do with free speech – this is about his toxic platform getting out of control, to the point where he is allowing illegal and abusive content to be generated and shared from it. Malaysia and Indonesia just banned Grok. Other governments are considering action, but so far the strongest momentum for a ban of X and Grok is happening in the UK where an investigation has been launched and lawmakers are quitting the platform in protest. But they are under massive pressure from the US to sweep this crisis under the rug and keep Trump’s megaphone operating everywhere. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen and help protect women and children from the worst of AI.  Thanks for all that you do, More information: |
