It’s entirely likely several teams of lawyers were waiting for this ruling to create precedent.

…But not X/Grok for actually creating CSAM?
I’ll take the win against Zuck, maybe the Elongated Muskrat should be worried?

Jury trials do not create precedent

Were they part of the case? Did this trial start before that even happened?
Your sentiment makes sense. But what you wrote is illogical when you consider the timelines.
AFAIK, lawsuits about grok were just filed in the past few weeks.

Exactly. Justice is not fast food. It takes more than a few weeks or even months to go through the steps.

Yup. If that case is over within two years it’s because of shenanigans

I see where you’re coming from. It’s not really illogical though — it logically follows that if one did the same thing as the other but worse (use AI to seduce kids vs use AI to generate CSAM), then if the weaker one is found illegal, the stronger one should be found more illegal.
It might be a non sequitur though (“it does not follow”) because, as you say, Twitter wasn’t involved in that case.
Still worth mentioning.
My local news is full of people who were found to be looking at CSAM and the years of prison time they’re getting. Basically they were found to have naked pictures of kids, or pictures/video of people abusing kids on their phone or computer. But they haven’t actually harmed any real kids, IRL. Meanwhile, western politicians are actually doing the thing and not being punished. I don’t know if Trump has any CSAM on his phone (probably not), but he’s gone to a private island to abuse minors, and so have a bunch of other people. One in the UK got stripped of his titles, but still lives a life of luxury. I wanna say “make it make sense” but it seems to me that it’s not doing the thing that is punishable by prison, it’s having the proof someone else did the thing. And that’s sick. But that’s the world we live in.
