    It would be great if all three co-ordinated with other governments, so all ban Twitter at the same time.

    And yes, ban Twitter; not just Grok. The business behind it (Musk and other clowns) knows fully well what its model is doing, and should be held responsible.

    Regrettably, Carney and Minister Solomon have each said that a ban of X is off the table (thanks /s, you knobs). It’d be nice to see Starmer do something good for a change

    (Edit: also, I believe what Starmer is proposing is a ban of Grok on X, as opposed to a ban of X)

      When did they say that? I’m pretty pissed that the kiddy porn deep fake pro Hitler platform isn’t getting smaller with every fine and law we have on the books.

          Not surprised, but still disappointing. Had my hopes up for a second, against my better judgment. X is top of the list for tech to block and yet our government ministers and PM at still on there using it.

    It won’t get banned in Australia. Musk will pull Starlink and that will absolutely force the federal governments hand. The outback and most of rural Australia are on Starlink.

    This would be great. Though it’s a bit dumb they are doing it over grok. There’s plenty of better reasons to ban x. But good luck.

      Elon is letting it make CSAM, probably because that’s what he’s in to.

      It’s an easy point of rhetoric to say it’s about the children, not because they don’t like what me has to say

    Chances are these dumb fucks are not gonna ban anything if they focus on having shit in the news first. Just put the actual legislation in place. Act first, blabber later.
