UK Leader Vows Crackdown on Grok's Offensive Deepfakes

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged that the UK will implement measures against the platform responsible for creating inappropriate deepfake content through its Grok AI system.

In reaction to reports from both The Telegraph and Sky News, Starmer expressed his dismay, calling the situation 'abhorrent.' During a discussion with Greatest Hits Radio, he asserted that the platform, referred to as 'X,' must promptly remove such content or face the consequences.

Government's Stance

Starmer is adamant that this type of material is unacceptable and insists that all strategies will be considered to address the issue. 'I've instructed that we explore every possible option,' he stated.

Investigation by Ofcom

The UK's regulatory body, Ofcom, is currently assessing whether the platform 'X' has breached regulations designed to prevent hosting harmful digital content. The spokesperson for Ofcom confirmed they would conduct a quick evaluation to ascertain if any non-compliance issues merit a detailed inquiry.

Platform Accountability

Rules stipulate severe repercussions for any users or actions on the platform that encourage the generation of illicit content. Inquiries directed to 'X' regarding their response have not yet been answered.
