X is acting to comply with UK law, Keir Starmer tells MPs amid Grok row
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Elon Musk's X is taking action to comply with UK law, the Prime Minister has told MPs following the row over its AI chatbot Grok. Sir Keir Starmer said news the social media company was taking action on concerns Grok was producing sexualised images of women and children was welcome. But he added the Government would not back down, saying media watchdog Ofcom's independent investigation into Grok would continue."
"Responding to a question from Labour MP Emily Darlington, Sir Keir repeated his condemnation of Grok as disgusting and shameful, and said Ofcom had ministers' full backing to act if X did not. He said: To update the House, I have been informed this morning that X is acting to ensure full compliance with UK law. If so, that is welcome, but we're not going to back down, and they must act."
The Independent requests donations to keep reporting free of paywalls by sending journalists to cover major issues, funded by those who can afford it. Elon Musk's X has acted to comply with UK law after concerns its AI chatbot Grok produced sexualised images of women and children. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called Grok's outputs disgusting and shameful and affirmed Ofcom's investigation has ministerial backing. The Government warned it will not back down, will take necessary measures and may strengthen laws or prepare further legislation. Musk said Grok would refuse to produce illegal content and suggested adversarial hacking may have caused the images.
