We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.
We have seen over the last weeks and months antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.
In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

It's so frustrating the harm they continue to do.

Wir haben in den letzten Wochen und Monaten antisemitische Inhalte, nicht einvernehmliche Deepfakes von Frauen und Material zum sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern gesehen.
In Europa wird kein Unternehmen Geld verdienen, indem es unsere Grundrechte verletzt."

You're just pathetic cowards, fooling no one anymore.

All our data go to US tech corporations for whatever purposes while we in turn get the right-wing propaganda by the big players who are all firmly behind Trump whose goal it is to destroy NATO and the EU. What could go wrong, right?

in reply to European Commission • • •If you @EUCommission are concerned about #childabuse why don't you start an investigation into #JeffreyEpstein?
Is the content in question #antisemitic based on the #zionism and #genocidefriendly #IHRA definition, or according to the much more accurate and #antiracist #jerusalemdeclaration?

No response isn't social and nothing less than ignorance on purpose, isn't it? At least for a democratic institution, right? Unfortunately, dodging questions doesn't make them fade away, but feeds the #mandelaeffect massively. Imho #Transparency can only improve your situation.

A fine doesn't solve the problem. The same way fining meta didnt solve exacrly the same problem. Violation of the GDPR and DSA.

I know these people, and it's okay - they do low paid seasonal work no locals would take, mostly.
Closing that loophole would damage the EU more than we would get on taxes.

Wikipedia: Relationship between child pornography and child sexual abuse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relation…
The problem with banning works depicting a fictitious crime victim is that you would then also analogously have to ban Agatha Christie's novels, because it's a "murder victim abuse material", based on an opinion that "reading murder mystery novels increases the likelihood of an individual committing a murder. Reasons include that the detective novels normalize and/or legitimize murder, as well as that the novels might eventually cease to satisfy the reader."
Why discriminate against works depicting one type of crime against a fictitious victim while allowing works depicting a different, MORE SERIOUS type of crime against a fictitious victim?

in reply to European Commission • • •anti-child-sexual-abuse laws have a grave implication for dissidents. If a state wants to frivolously and arbitrarily put a dissident into jail, all they have to do is:
1) A policeman asks any 14 year old to register a fake dating profile with fake pics of an adult. Dating apps are full of fake profiles and people faking their age.
2) The 14 year old contacts the dissident from the fake profile and pretends sexual and/or romantic interest. Asks the dissident for sex pics. Since sexting like this is common and legitimate on dating apps for the legitimate purpose of romantic and/or sex life, it is likely to follow. Now the dissident ha comitted the crime of endangering minors with pornography.
3) Now the dissident is likely to ask for sex pics back in return and the dissident comitted a crime asking a minor for sex pics.
4) Even if the dissident doesn't engage in sex pics, they can accuse them of "grooming".
I think the only way the dissident can protect themselves against this is to abstain from online dating altogether, which is likely to result in loneliness,
