They wanted everyone to scan their faces to look at legal porn featuring consensual performers, but now that it’s synthetic CSAM featuring other people’s kids, eh, they’re not quite sure if intervention is really warranted?

It’s never been about the children, but if you enact something “in the name of child safety” they can shout down any opposition by screaming child predator at anyone who does.
After all, anyone who opposes a child safety bill, must be a predator right?

Yuuuup. OfCom wants to control you not protect children.

tbf that face scanning BS was 100% on the companies contracted out to do the verification, because the moronic law had absolutely no control over HOW the user's age must be verified and how the data used to verify the age should be stored.

Eh? It’s the exact same law that’s being used, with the exact same problems. The reason it’s not been done yet is because Twitter is not - or was not - a porn site, so it escaped scrutiny. But the sites failing to comply with the Online Safety Act aren’t just deleted from the internet immediately, there’s an investigation first.

It is a website that hosts a shit ton of porn and even features a tool for creating porn. How is that not a porn site?

Musk needs to be prosecuted.
Hiding child porn behind a paywall? What the actual fuck.

It won’t be, obviously. Some money will change hands, and it’ll all be forgotten about. No consequences for the wealthy.

😂 not even money will change hands. We’ll just continue to accept it.

This cesspool should be banned EVERYWHERE. nazi pedophile oligarchs should not have a platform to poison minds across borders. I can’t believe governments let this filth happen out in the open.

I hate that it’s taking chip damage to kill Twitter.

I want it banned. Then I want to see all the MPs who have continued to use it these past years figure out where they’re going to get their “engagement” from now.

"Could be"? Why the special treatment?
If any other website was distributing such disturbingly illegal content they would've been banned in the span of days and the owners and creators or that content would've been prosecuted.

Unless Twitter themselves don’t show the site in the U.K., the block will be very weak just an IP Block by ISPs? It could be more effective to just order Twitter to block Grok entirely in the UK. At the least do that immediately then go ahead with full on block. Considering that they have been very slow for illegal content shows there is external pressure on the U.K. Government.

What about the money, though? UK government needs that money /s
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Well, that explains the post I saw earlier about how they turned off image generation…
Every sane co.pany needs to ban it for more reasons than just this.

Oh, I hope it does get banned and Elon Musk charged for facilitation of creation of CSAM…
I hope, I hope, I hope…
fonix232@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
I really hope they take into account just how many people HAVE seen the pictures and how many COULD HAVE seen it.
Also the fact that X would have had no filter preventing kids seeing that image, which doesn't just go against revenge porn laws, but also the OSA - which would be the first actual positive of the latter.
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Its seems kind of evident that building a machine that makes CSAM would be a crime if any individual did it, so why not a corporation?
thomasshikari@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If someone who wasn’t inconceivably wealthy had created it then they probably would have been arrested by now.
