Recently, however, Grok has been allowing X-users to generate AI images of women, teenagers (youths), and children (many premised on “real” or “known” individuals) – with these images being “naked” and “sexualised” in various ways. It seems that this Grok-activity was/is feeding into paedophilic and misogynistic tendencies – as well as violating privacy laws. Musk seems to think that this activity should be “protected” by “freedom of speech” and “freedom of expression” legislation – even though these vary around the world. The problem is a broader issue which has seen the governments of Western Europe permit the US-controlled internet to invade sovereign (non-American) geographical spaces and apply US law where such law does not exist (the political left outside of the US has been one of the most prevalent victims of this policy) – the right and far-right the greatest benefiter). The US concept of “freedom of speech” allows “ignorance” to possess the same status as “wisdom” – and herein lies the problem. The UK possesses “responsibility of speech” – where each individual must learn the current acceptable parameters within public debate (private is another matter) – and operate from within those limitations. The only place to possess “freedom of speech” in the UK is the British Parliament.
