The UK government has issued its strongest warning yet to Elon Musk's social media platform X, after revelations that its AI tool, Grok, has been used to generate sexualised deepfake images of women and children. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer slammed the practice as 'disgusting', signalling that a ban on the platform is already 'on the table.'
The scandal has sparked outrage across Britain, with senior figures and public personalities among those targeted. Regulators have confirmed that some of the AI-generated material has already been shared on the dark web, raising grave concerns about illegal child sexual abuse imagery. The Prime Minister has vowed that the government will not tolerate such content and has tasked Ofcom with exploring every possible measure to curb the abuse.
