- Elon Musk accuses the UK government of suppressing free speech after threats to ban X over AI-generated sexual images.
- Grok, X's AI tool, was used to create non-consensual sexual images of women and children, some potentially classified as child abuse material.
- UK ministers, including technology secretary Liz Kendall, consider blocking X in the UK unless harmful content is removed.
- Australian PM Anthony Albanese condemns the misuse of AI for non-consensual sexual exploitation, calling it 'abhorrent'.
- X partially restricts Grok's image generation, limiting it to paid subscribers, but explicit content creation persists.
- Labour MP Jess Asato advocates for urgent legislation to ban nudification apps, highlighting their continued availability on platforms like YouTube.
