UK government publicly making a fool of itself is probably not counter to the interests of Elon Musk at all... His political faction have been keen to insult the British government whenever possible. The more absurd their public enemies act, the more reasonable they look in comparison.
Come on now. That's obviously not true. CSAM is absolutely banned on twitter, and all other American platforms.
to make the censorship more palatable to the general public.
All images uploaded to twitter, or any other lawful American social media platform, are perceptually hashed and checked against databases of known CSAM. Computer generated pornography, while obviously odious, is not technically illegal in the US. And in either case, twitter has been a dumping ground of such crap for as long as it has existed. In short, with all due respect, get a grip.
Then why does Musk refuse to fix 'Grok' and allow it to produce CSAM? Is this what the billionaire class want? AI everywhere and then hide behind "it's not the AI doing it, it's the users prompting it!".
> Musk is implicitly allowing child pornography on his platform.
That is blatantly false and you know it. Musk has lot to answer for but we don't need to start making up imaginary crimes here.
> Apple/Google should have removed X a while ago.
Those who ask willy-nilly for censorship always end up being surprised when the systems comes after them in the end as it always does.
If tomorrow Apple and Google ban an app that you like, will you still agree that censorship is ok?
Musk is implicitly allowing child pornography on his platform. There's no way around that. Apple/Google should have removed X a while ago.
