U.K.'s Starmer escalates threats against X, calls Grok'shameful' U.K.'s prime minister escalated threats against Elon Musk's X, vowing to enforce a law that bans the sexualization of people's images without consent and calling such content generated by Grok disgusting and shameful. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer escalated his threats against Elon Musk's X on Monday, vowing to enforce a law that banned the sexualization of people's images without their consent and calling such content generated by Grok "disgusting and shameful." From this week, the government will enforce the offense established in last year's Data Act, which made the creation of nonconsensual intimate images illegal. Starmer told members of Parliament on Monday, "if X cannot control Grok, we will -- and we'll do it fast because if you profit from harm and abuse, you lose the right to self regulate." Starmer accused X of protecting "abusive users" instead of the women and children whose images have been exploited, describing it as a "total distortion of priorities."
