You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Louise Haigh says government should quit X because child sexual abuse imagery making its use 'unconscionable', @peterwalker99.bsky.social reports - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

New moral low just dropped from the protector of women.

Just completed a sexual harassment survey for my employer. They use X for communications so I pointed out the survey wasn't worth the effort given their dedication to the world's leading website for sexual harassment and child porn.

Our community on Discord are looking at how the shooting unfolded. You can join that discussion here: discord.com/channels/709...

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms. I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

People posting links here that use the Twitter URL shortener....

If the UK government had a Culture Secretary, that person would be in a position to take a view about whether child porn on demand was a good thing, or a bad thing. thecritic.co.uk/brin...

surprised it's not more tbh. still, as i say, it doesn't matter because it's only women and children, nbd, probably just let it slide i'm sure it's fine, pixels = 0 harm, lol sigh

Danish guy gets it

Just checking with how Starmer's crusade to ban apps that produce deep fakes is going

The thing is, to be pragmatic, the government won't even stop posting on X whilst it is actively generating illegal deepfakes and CSAM so why should X worry about enforcement?

Just saw this in LinkedIn for anyone interested in looking into Grok's production of CSAM and non-consensual sexualised imagery. www.linkedin.com/posts/mtechl...

The video in the thread redacts the images, mercifully. But you can see from the prompts what is happening. This is obscene, vicious and intolerable. X and Grok should be shut down until this grotesque harassment can be stopped. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Business in the House of Commons will start with questions to the Home Secretary. Members of the House of Lords will discuss topics, including support for parents to toilet train their children, sudden cardiac death in young people, and Government use of social media platform X.

will I keep eating the pies from Mrs Lovett’s pie shop now that they’re potentially made with Sweeney Todd’s victims? Piemakers are under obligation to act appropriately and I always hope they would do.

"Yes", then.

GET OFF X.

Kew Gardens was looking mighty fine this afternoon.

Currently thinking about that legendary Frankie Boyle bit about the US military and how they will not only invade your country and kill all of your people but then they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad

In other news I think a lot of smaller countries could cheaply replace the US branch of their military intelligence agency with one guy hitting refresh on any relevant Polymarket contracts

Magnificent book. We took it out for a walk podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

“These are the hard ribs Of a body that our prayers have failed To animate.” So good.

This is what happens when you recklessly extend BRICS right up to America’s borders and ignore America’s legitimate security concerns.

I have said to the Blue Labour boys that we should run an event where some labour movement women set out feminist economics and how a modern working-class-first politics can’t ignore women, as part of a dialogue on Blue Labour. Maybe this year we’ll make it happen

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

Let that sink in.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

X/grok creating and platforming sexually explicit material of children isn’t just a lapse, it’s criminal. Elon Musk and his companies should be held to account. It’s been over a year since I dumped X. It was the right decision then and even more so now. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lost amid the discussion of why the Government should get off X is its utter uselessness as an engagement tool and the fact departments are wasting vast sums making content for it. Take this:

This just in: calculator has apologized for saying BOOBS

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

It's also such an easy political win. Point to Musk donating to far right groups like Rupert Lowe's and his previous support for Reform and say they're being funded by a noncebot.

I don’t see how this framework can exist in the same world as the Chancellor posting on X.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

It can't hallucinate. It can't lie. It can't apologize. It is a machine that works the way that it was designed to work BY PEOPLE.

Just the two examples of Polish politicians *using their X accounts* to complain about Grok producing child pornography, which is rather like writing to the editor of Stormfront to threaten to cancel your subscription because of all the racism: you have kind of missed the point.

Today’s lesson: there’s a reason you can’t buy red cabbage sauerkraut. In other news our kitchen is purple now.

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

If the British government, and indeed other governments, can’t muster a fast and strong response to Twitter adding a facility enabling users to create and share AI child sexual abuse material then not sure what Musk could ever do that would actually provoke a response.

I’ve written to my MP, the excellent @helenhayes.bsky.social. I used the also-excellent www.writetothem.com. Here’s what I said.

If this new CSAM episode doesn’t push the government (and the BBC) off X then nothing ever will.
