Do it. For the love of god, do it. For once, Keir, take a principled stance. Have some balls.
And never has he had stronger justification. If political interference by foreign billionaires and biased algorithms isn’t enough, how about actually applying the law when it comes to deepfake creation?

I’m really not a Starmer fan, but if he grows a pair and stands up to Elon, maybe I’ll reconsider

For context, the ‘AI chatbot row’ is that Twitter’s AI bot will edit photos uploaded on the request of anyone, not just the owner. People have been using it to place people into compromising positions and undress them in photos without the consent of the subject. This has also been used to edit photos of children.

X would have been ditched long ago if it weren’t for Trump being in the White House. It’d be good if Starmer showed an ounce of courage and took on Stormfront with CP, sod the blowback.

That would never ever ever ever happen.
Trump phones Starmer.. Starmer rolls over. Not even worth trying to pretend X ever gets turned off. Even for a day.

If I need a VPN to look at fucking cake pictures on r/food when they’re hosted on imgur, surely they can actually do something about a REAL problem like Musk giving creeps free rein to humiliate women while he sits there all smug like king shit of incel mountain. Absolutely cannot fucking believe that I am impacted daily by the OSA as a 39 year old trying to look at non-porn things and meanwhile that platform is currently allowing people to deepfake children naked with, so far, zero consequences.
*Edit: apparently the imgur thing isn’t the same issue, but it’s still a fucking mess of a law that’s causing some really irritating problems.

The mental gymnastics that enables Trump to bitch at us for hampering ‘freedom of expression’ over THIS but will happily prevent entry to the US for anyone who’s said something mean about him in the past.
Every day I think it can’t get worse and yet it inevitably does.

Has anyone ever had a thought that folk are actually trying to get X banned? Like disingenuously so?

Fine X and the companies a billion a day until those features are removed.

reword: UK considers banning Twitter for hosting Child Sexual Abuse Material
Alundra828 on
For all the times the government has overreached because “WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN”, now is the clearest, most straight forward, simplest example of when to clutch ones pearls.
You can’t try to ban porn, and then allow an AI that can undress children, deepfake classmates, colleagues, relatives, rivals etc to just be publicly available to anyone with an internet connection.
It totally figures that Elon would find a way to turn paedophilia into a SaaS product.

Seems like a very reasonable thing to consider doing.

It wont happen because there’s too much money involved.

I can’t think of many websites that have done as much damage as X

I like using X more than any other social site but yea its getting to the point it’s pedo creepy unhinged demons everywhere

If it means we don’t get billionaire boosted far right race riots maybe it’a a good thing access to Twitter goes.
But realistically people will just use vpns unless the app stores ban the apps.
Also there is no alternative to x. Threads is shit, blue sky is a hug bubble without a community notes feature
I absolutely agree x is terrible and has degraded the national conversation. But no one is going to Facebook or insta for online social media clips on things, it’s all X and tiktok.
They’re going to have a hard time with this though after the online safety act stuff being implemented so stupidly

I have to use a vpn to watch porn, look i use twitter for my vtubers, i don’t need more bs from my government blocking websites..

At the very least maybe our politicians and public figures could delete their accounts and leave the platform

It should have happened when he took over. it was already a cesspit when he bought it, he just fermented it.

If the government did this they would win the next election by a landslide.
Ban his crappy cars too.

Funny how Grok appears to be the only AI machine being widely used for sexualised images of children.

If child porn is not sufficient reason to ban X, I think we lose any moral grounds to ban anything at all.
Fine and ban them. If it means no trade deal with US, so be it. We will rather live poorer.

Please do it. Not just for that madness, completely wrong and disgusting but my god I need the cancer that is football twitter out of my life!

Do it. Maybe other countries will follow suit if we took the first step. Elon will cry and fight it and get Trump/Vance to cry about it too, but he will ultimately cave as he won’t want to lose his main propaganda tool in Europe.
The private ownership of a major communication tool by a white supremacist who openly rewrites the truth on the platform is sickening enough.

This would be a blessing…This cesspool is nothing but a right-wing echo chamber now…It’ll certainly upset Reform as they’ve probably got a long term deal for bots…
