Elon Musk's Grok AI generated CSAM (inappropriate pictures of children). Time to Boycott Twitter/X! [View all]

There's a famous story (explained here: https://www.upworthy.com/bartender-explains-why-he-swiftly-kicks-nazis-out-of-his-punk-bar-even-if-theyre-not-bothering-anyone ) where a bartender explains why it's important to kick out Nazis who visit a bar even he is polite. Basically it's because they bring their friends and then it gets worse and worse at the bar until they are the only people left. Therefore a bar that allows Nazis even if it's only some going is a Nazi-bar.

Twitter under Elon Musk has been like that for a long time. But now it's even worse because now Twitter is not only a Nazi-bar, it's a pedo-bar too so I'm urging any Twitter holdouts to finally quit the site and if you are looking for a good replacement switch to Bluesky. I also urge you to try getting anyone you can to leave Twitter too. We cannot for any longer tolerate what Twitter is doing.

so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform
