Labour’s first “Twitter tsar” has branded X a “cesspit” and urged ministers to quit the social media platform immediately after its AI tool was repeatedly used to generate sexualised images of people without consent.
On Monday, Sir Keir Starmer issued an ultimatum to the platform’s owner, Elon Musk, announcing that the government would take “fast action” to deal with the abuses of Grok on the platform formerly known as Twitter. An investigation by the regulator Ofcom has also been launched.
