We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.

It leads on "sharply contested narratives"

It has a dramatic skew to the US government

It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

This one?

Where is the “believe what you see” from your original post?

This is extremely similar to your previous post with the sentence: “Believe what you see.” Deleted. This looks like you have been censored.

Sometimes you get a few minutes on live TV with a billionaire. I tried to make them count! 😅

On Isherwood posts:

Cabaret is a great film and an outstanding play, but to get a real feel about early 1930s read the Isherwood source material: the Berlin stories and diaries.

Like Zone of Interest the menace and horror is what you can sense off-page/off-screen.

And it was written at the time.

Listening to a discussion about AI in university education with Amol Rajan & Prof Duncan Iveston on Radio 4 Today. Too short to get into the nuance of course, but an observation that copilot can do a literate review for you very quickly perfectly illustrates one of my main concerns with AI…1/1

Even London’s critics have to accept the evidence - homicide in London has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade.

Our work is not done. We’ll continue to work with the Metropolitan Police to utilise every tool at our disposal and keep Londoners safe.

The obsession with trans women in women’s changing rooms seems to take up a lot of the media space that could be used to highlight cis male sexual abusers - but the concerns over them are usually only of interest when they are dead after a lifetime of praise

Pay-off spend up by two-thirds as universities shed 13,000 jobs Analysis of UK sector accounts shows number of job losses well above predictions, with experts warning cuts are not over yet

UK Universities cut 13,300 jobs, paid £300m+ in redundancy.

Economic contribution of the HE sector, £265bn.

Systematically destroyed by govts - foreign students not welcome, cut real-term grants, fees, students burdened with debts, low staff pay/morale.

Govt want skilled labour.

🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero

1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

Palestine Action hunger strikers are still the state’s responsibility | Letters Letters: The power is in the hands of the DPP or the attorney general, writes Stephen Sedley. Plus Roshi Fernando on Keir Starmer’s unforgivable conduct

A number of people on this platform have been claiming that it's not up to government to shorten people's time on remand, however far beyond the statutory limit that time extends.
Well, take it from a very eminent retired judge. It is.

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever | Sadiq Khan Reform’s new candidate for mayor claims people pity Londoners for living in an unsafe capital. But the evidence is clear: we’re making our streets safer, says mayor of London Sadiq Khan

If Trump, Musk, Farage etc want to learn how to bring down violent crime rates, London’s Mayor has some great lessons to teach them.

Vets under increasing pressure to make money for corporate owners, BBC told Questions have been raised about whether the pet-care market is giving customers value for money.

Curse of Private Equity.

Vets under pressure to increase revenue,

Six companies control 60% of the UK's pet-care market

Prices up by 63% between 2016 and 2023.

Vets pressurised to meet financial targets by offering costly tests and treatment options.

Govts do nothing. Now handing the NHS to PE.

‘If our national security rests on US technology, we have no national security’

Please read this. The UK political & media establishment is asleep at the wheel.

We have made ourselves wholly dependent on a Trump ally for our national security at the exact moment Trump is threatening to invade a NATO ally

Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

Not once, in all my time on Twitter, did I come across a 'gender critical' activist who made me think, 'maybe I have this wrong?'

In fact, watching people like Graham Linehan slide further and further into Right Wing and Far Right ideology confirmed that they are the ideologues.

The right to life comprises a right not to be unlawfully killed and a right to have any killing properly investigated.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened."

REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar.

Grow a spine.

The BBC should be "impartial", but that doesn't mean refusing to make judgments.

A jury or a football referee should be "impartial": they should not be "partial", or prejudiced, to one side or other.

But that doesn't excuse them from making decisions. It's why we trust them to do so.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".

It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".

The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

Renee Good, a citizen & mother was shot 3 times in the head, on camera, by a masked gang. She is smeared by Trump & MAGA lunatics.
May she rest in peace & her family find comfort.

Frankly the only surprise is it took this long.

Farage wants “ICE style raids” in the UK. #r4today

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.

This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.
