Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hmmm. Might be the platform should be shut down until the issue of it being used to create child pornography is fixed.
If not, Elon Musk could (and should) be facing charges for facilitating its creation.
Agreed but it's all grey area when it comes to AI. Since they are not "real" is it child porn in the eyes of the law? We need more cases to establish the law but you know F-Elon will just take the shortcut and have Donny tell the Supreme Cunts to say AI child porn is ok.
That doesn't matter at all. Simulated child porn has been illegal in the US for over 20 years.

That doesn't matter either. Rich and powerful individuals and corporations have been immune to illegal acts in the US for far longer.

Well look at you acting like precedent (as opposed to the defendant) matters to this SCOTUS.
Very much illegal in Brazil. Our laws specifically target this attempt at dodging the law with semantics. But will Twitter be banned? Of course not.
I mean, Twitter notoriously has been banned in Brazil before.
Oh hell yes!! If it creates what the courts call a "prurient interest" with images of children, real or simulated, yeahh, you're gonna go down for facilitating creation of, or creation and distribution of, child porn..
Before AI took over, I used to make fakes and we had tons of discussions on the forums about it. Even if an actor or actress was of age, if the photo used was from when they were underage it could land the poster permabanned, regardless of how popular their fakes were. (Emma Watson comes to mind - OH! did the shit fly around her likeness being used when a faker on the forum took a still headshot from one of the Harry Potter films to use and the picture was removed almost instantly and his posts were heavily modded for quite a while afterwards..)
Even simulated UA photos.. nope. You don't go there.. ever.
The individuals being depicted in the offending material are real. Grok isn't generating images, it's editing real photos of real underage people. This is very much illegal.
