The socialist UK government is mulling plans to ban the social media giant X, owned by Elon Musk, over supposed online safety concerns.
UK Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has voiced support for regulator Ofcom to potentially restrict access to X if the platform fails to comply with national online safety laws.
The nation’s censors are specifically citing the use of X’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Grok, which has been used to manipulate digital images.
The government argues that it is a crime to create AI-generated images of people without their consent.
