(Jan 11): Elon Musk accused the UK government of being “fascist” after it stepped up threats to block X over sexualized images of women and children produced by his artificial intelligence tool Grok. The UK watchdog responsible for flagging online child sexual-abuse material to law enforcement agencies said it had found “criminal” images on the dark web allegedly generated by Grok. The dark web images depict “sexualised and topless” images of girls between the ages of 11 and 13 and meet the bar for action by law enforcement, the Internet Watch Foundation said. xAI operates Grok and the social media platform X.UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed action earlier this week, demanding Musk’s X urgently “get their act together” over the sexualised images. “And in fact, we’ve been in touch again, today, about this very serious issue.”
