I find it interesting that there's loads of people who made a core part of their identity campaigning against trans women being in women's spaces and how it impacts women, who have gone completely silent about Grok being used to undress and brutalise w...

The UK government says the move by X to limit Grok to paid users is “insulting” and basically monetising abuse, and they would support a ban of X in the UK if recommended by the regulator. They’ve asked the regulator for recommendations in days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99kn52nx9do
@GossiTheDog delighted and kind of confused.
Did Santa bring spines to Labour leadership?

@davey_cakes Elon threatened to replace the PM and overthrow the UK government, he’s monitored by GCHQ as a result as a threat to national security. I think the latest stunt may be the final straw.

@GossiTheDog then we get proof that X users are paying for child porn. Win.

@GossiTheDog perhaps an idea would be to stop using it themselves or using it for for any official accounts.

@GossiTheDog isn’t that „limited to paid users“ even fake news based on something Grok hallucinated to a journalist?

@GossiTheDog @davey_cakes Did Kier Starmer finally get a backbone transplant? If so, bravo to the NHS!

@GossiTheDog expect JD Vance to excoriate the UK as an authoritarian censorship rogue state that needs to be liberated... (unless he's already done it)

@GossiTheDog here's the thing, it's taking these regulators a very long time to get around to figuring this obvious problem out.
At the same time these same countries can wipe an internet site off the internet in their jurisdiction in the click of a finger (or a very poorly written police order if you're France) and zero public debate.
If it wasn't some american billionaires mechahitler project would it even be discussed or just gone ?

@kc @GossiTheDog the problem is the country that these Internet giants have set up their EU base in, Ireland. If Ireland loses the tax euros from these tech golden geese then the party stops and the powers that don't regulate will lose their seats. It all boils down to this.

@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog also very true, Ireland's DPO is famously one of the most lax in Europe for I'm sure what are very unrelated reasons.
I thought though that Dark Maga shutdown any connection to Ireland (and fired everyone illegally), so one would hope they're still a bit twisted about that enough to not mind this particular one if there is still the husk of the bird on it's shores

@kc @GossiTheDog Ireland's DPO are absolutely useless and deliberately so. I have managed to piss them off a number of times though. I learned GDPR and by extension FOI law against my will
@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog they're probably taking advice from France.
I'm currently in a battle of wills with la CNIL that involves replying yes every two years to the question of "hey we did nothing, anyways did you want us to actually investigate this thing?"

@kc @GossiTheDog Once you have them on a legal point and keep within timelines you can do this forever. I use the GDPR, FOI, DSR, FOI appeal triple sandwich to extract what they don't want to release
@humanhorseshoes @GossiTheDog I have much better, the eternal loop of the French bureaucratic system. If it's still in the queue, it will be done, and when the last person gets angry seeing my name for the 800th time, they'll drop in on the company like a tonne of bricks along with employment inspectors and the tax office.
When they become motivated, they all come to that party to make sure somebody gets some coin out of it
