UK Grok ban live: Government to give update on X deepfake row after Musk lashes out over Ofcom probe – UK Times

The government is due to announce its next steps over its row with X, after technology secretary Liz Kendall said she would support a decision from Ofcom to ban the social media platform in the UK.

Elon Musk has faced public backlash after his Grok AI was being used to generate sexually explicit images of women and children.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said: “Sexually manipulating images of women and children is despicable and abhorrent.

“It is an insult and totally unacceptable for Grok to still allow this if you’re willing to pay for it. I expect Ofcom to use the full legal powers Parliament has given them.”
