Comment on X could be banned in UK amid sexualised AI images concerns
FishFace@piefed.social 2 days agoEh? 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?

As far as I understand (going from what was reported on this in the last couple of days) Grok’s ability to create porn is recent, so that explains that.
I don’t use it, but my impression was that, Grok aside, the content is primarily not porn, which would make it not a porn site, surely.

Twitter has always hosted a considerable amount of porn GROK being deliberately developed into a CSAM machine is just the most recent thing.
To be clear, Twitter (and now X) explicitly permit pornographic content by policy:

It is a porn site. Not a site that sometimes people break the rules and post porn to. It is a site that deliberately and intentional hosts pornography.

Fair enough. But it also (I just checked) requires age verification like regular porn sites, so I don’t really get the raising of the treatment of twitter as some kind of double standard.
