Elon Musk mentioned multiple times that he doesn't want to censor. If someone does or says something illegal on his platform, it has to be solved by law enforcement, not by someone on his platform. When asked to "moderate" it, he calls that censorship. Literally everything he does and says is about Freedom - no regulations, or as little as possible, and no moderation.
I believe he thinks the same applies to Grok or whatever is done on the platform. The fact that "@grok do xyz" makes it instanteous doesn't mean you should do it.

- biophysboy 9mo agoI think it is completely fine for a tech platform to proactively censor AI porn. It is ok to stop men from generating porn of random women and kids. We don't need to get the police involved. I do not think non-consensual porn or CSAM should be protected by free speech. This is an obvious, no-brainer decision.
- mk89 9mo agoSecond line of the article. > X is planning to purge users generating content that the platform deems illegal, including Grok-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Which is moderating/censoring. The tool (Grok) will not be updated to limit it - that's all. Why? I have no idea, but it seems lately that all these AI tools have more freedom than us humans.
- biophysboy 9mo agoAn AI porn tool makes the world less free, even with post hoc purges. That is the point. If you want to be an actress and you are 14 years old, you now have to worry about tools that make porn of you. If you are an ordinary woman that wants to share photos with your friends on instagram, you now have to worry about people making porn of you!
- duskdozer 9mo agoIt's the "freedom from/freedom to" thing that always comes up when talking about "freedom"
- mk89 9mo agoWhy the downvotes? The one above is not my opinion (although I partially agree with it, and now you can downvote this one :D ). To be honest, I don't care at all about X nor about an almost trillionaire. It was full of bots before, now it's full of "AI agents". It's quite hard sometimes to navigate through that ocean of spam, fake news, etc. Grok makes it easier, but it's still ugly and annoying to read 90-95% always the same posts.
- UncleMeat 9mo ago> Literally everything he does and says is about Freedom - no regulations, or as little as possible, and no moderation. Weird. Why do people get in trouble for using the word "cis" on twitter?
- hdgvhicv 9mo agoX terms of service specifically censor things Elon doesn’t want. It’s against the TOS to post a picture of your own boobs for example.
- verzali 9mo agoBut then he also gets mad if law enforcement acts on people doing illegal things on his platform...
