The @nytimes.com coverage of France's Grok investigation casts it as part of a conflict between U.S. & European speech rules. That's true only if you buy Elon's version. This is a case about CSAM and NCII. Those are crimes in France, and crimes in the U.S. There's no transatlantic divide here. 1/

The U.K.'s communications watchdog Ofcom said it has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's social media platform X over reports that its AI chatbot Grok is producing non-consensual sexualized deepfakes of women and children.

Ooof. I can’t believe X chose this case, and this place, to fight a global takedown order. Canada is the one country with a Supreme Court decision supporting global takedowns. The case came out of BC, like this one. It was about trade secrets. This is an ugly NCII case involving a trans person. 1/
