What's looked at is whether it involves user to user content.

So anyone ordering production of such images via Grok can be said to be producing them, and they are therefore legally liable as child pornographers. The same for abuse/violence, under the Criminal Justice Bill (or is it an Act now?).

As for Musk allowing this, he should be extradited and arrested IMO for facilitating the creation of such images. He doesn't seem to get why people are upset. As one critic said, he's a man-child. I agree. What part of 'criminal offence' doesn't this moron get?

Clearly, being a genius and being smart are not the same thing.

As for me, I'm quite looking forward to an interviewer asking about my social media use...I'll get to see the look on their face when I tell them I have zero presence on Facebook (I refuse to call it Meta even though I don't use it), Twitter (same), Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp or anything similar. Never used them, never will. As much as my life sucks, it is at least a life.

In fact, since I can't provide 5 years' worth of social media use seeing as I've never used it, I don't think I'd be allowed into the Un-united Nazi States...not that I intend or could ever afford to go anyway.

You might find the article about 1/3 of the way through this programme interesting:
