Wrote about how the Grok scandal upended our notion that platforms would do even the bare minimum to prevent attacks against their own user base www.platformer.news/grock-blocked-u…
France, Australia, and India have also all announced investigations into Grok. In truth, though, there is very little to investigate. Thousands of public posts tell the grim story. No one is disputing that xAI made available to its user base a tool that puts women and children into their underwear — or worse — against their will. No one is disputing that some of this content is illegal in many of the countries where xAI operates. And no one is disputing that Grok continues to generate this kind of material on demand.

When deepfakes first emerged as an online harm, I took some comfort in the notion that they likely would not spread virally. Individuals might send them via messages, I thought, but platforms would intervene to remove violating posts — particularly posts targeting children. Never could I have imagined that someday the former Twitter would deploy tools that enable and amplify those harms, and would dismiss any attempts to rein the company in as “censorship.”

When X banned the European Commission's ad account in retaliation for a fine, it demonstrated the exact sort of capricious behavior the DSA is designed to stop www.platformer.news/x-eu-fine-accou…
Bier's chest-thumping rationale for enforcing platform rules collapsed under scrutiny. The idea that X is a platform where all voices are equal is belied by the fact that you can promote your posts ahead of anyone else's by advertising them, just as the commission had, or by becoming a paid subscriber. And the suggestion that the commission was running some sort of scam rested on Bier's vague assertion that it had found an "exploit" by mislabeling one sort of post as another.

More to the point, and to the letter of the DSA law: there was no appeal process, no transparency about how similar cases are handled, and no explanation of why this particular post merited account termination rather than, say, removal of the offending content. (Platforms typically go out of their way to retain advertisers who have done far worse than what the commission is accused of here. How else do you think Meta estimates that it makes $7 billion a year from scam ads?)
