"The US has threatened to personally sanction Sir Keir Starmer and "Britain as a whole" should he ban Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. A US Congresswoman issued the threat as Starmer has called for restrictions on X as there has been reports the AI tool was undressing images of children and women. The artificial intelligence feature, Grok is helping users to alter images, sexually and then these pictures are being shared online."
"Officials are now looking into the matter to see if it breaches the UK's Online Safety Act, if so then fines can be imposed and apps could be banned. US Congresswoman, Anna Paulina Luna, who is a close ally of Donald Trump warned she would look to "sanction not only Starmer, but Britain as a whole" should X be banned in the UK."
"A Downing Street spokesperson told The Telegraph the changes to X "simply turns an AI feature that allows the creation of unlawful images into a premium service." They added, "It's not a solution. In fact, it's insulting to the victims of misogyny and sexual violence. What it does prove is that X can move swiftly when it wants to do so." The Prime Minister said that Ofcom has Starmer's "full support to take action in relation to this," adding it is "unlawful.""
Anna Paulina Luna, a US Congresswoman and ally of Donald Trump, warned she would sanction Keir Starmer and Britain if the UK bans Elon Musk's platform X. Starmer has called for restrictions after reports that X's AI feature Grok was undressing and sexually altering images of children and women, with altered pictures being shared online. Officials are investigating possible breaches of the UK Online Safety Act, which could lead to fines and app bans. Luna said legislation is being drafted to mirror previous US responses to foreign restrictions. Downing Street criticized X's change as turning unlawful image creation into a premium service. The Prime Minister said Ofcom has Starmer's full support and labeled the behavior unlawful.
