Iran: The protests, the blackout and the narrative war
Iran says'ready for war' Which are Iran's main opposition groups? This past week, Iranian protesters were labelled "terrorists" and "saboteurs" by the state. That rhetoric was accompanied by an internet blackout and a surge in violence, with the death toll still unclear. Simultaneously, tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, raising the stakes in what has become one of the most serious political upheavals in the country in years.

Mother of Elon Musk's child sues his AI company over Grok deepfake images
X to block Grok AI's undressing feature | Digital Dilemma The mother of one of Elon Musk's children is suing his artificial intelligence company, saying its Grok chatbot allowed users to generate sexually-exploitative deepfake images of her that have caused her humiliation and emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed just before California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a cease-and-desist letter to Musk's xAI company demanding that it stop the creation and distribution of Grok-generated nonconsensual sexualised imagery . Ashley St Clair, a writer and political commentator, alleges in a lawsuit filed on Thursday in New York City against xAI that she was the victim of sexualised deepfake images generated by Grok. St Clair, who is the mother of Musk's 16-month-old son, Romulus, said she reported the images to Musk's X social media platform, which hosts Grok, after they began appearing last year and asked that they be removed. The platform replied that the images did not violate its policies, she said.
