X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.
The EU Commission has already:
• taken investigative steps
• ordered the company to retain internal documents.X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly.
If not, we will not hesitate to take additional measures under the DSA.
@hennavirkkunen Props for posting this on Mastodon rather than on Twitter.
It is great to see the EU now take open source and open platforms more seriously, it would be nice if more Finnish politicians would understand the meaning of free and open social media.
While fines might work some time, the big american tech giants will always look for loopholes. A better move is just getting people off those platforms, and the single most effective way is for nation leaders leading by example.

@hennavirkkunen just caution here
as it may be an impersonator ?
because this do not appear yet on :
https://commission.europa.eu/about/organisation/college-commissioners/henna-virkkunen_en
and i find strange she would use mastodon.social instead of the official EU server ...
@lexinova According to Heise, the EU commission confirmed to DPA that Henna Virkkunen just opened an account at "the German company Mastodon". Of course this does not proof that exactly this is her account. https://www.heise.de/news/Trotz-Kritik-an-X-EU-Spitzen-weiterhin-nicht-bei-Mastodon-11140102.html

@hennavirkkunen Why don't you / EU take immediate actions just now? There have been already enough cases, which probably would justify a block of Grok in the EU.
Why still give X / Musk another grace period (where we all know, that nothing will change)?
Why not block it immediately and only allow it again, if changes were done (to the better) and not the other way round.
There are EU-laws (like the DSA) and if Grok doesn't comply, shut it down ...

@hennavirkkunen and all the men who put in orders for abuse images?
No consequence? -

@hennavirkkunen So if "additional measures" might include ban, I advice every X user to use the @iscpif ( @cnrs data portability tool to restore X's social connections on BlueSky or Mastodon.
This take literally 1min for the first step on http://OpenPortability.org

@hennavirkkunen
Welcome—it's great to see you here!
I'm also hoping that you might post here first and then on other networks? If we can take away the "timeliness" factor, the media industry will also have to adapt its sources
...
I wish you a good start

@hennavirkkunen I think that if I post nudes of underage people on any place, consequences against me would happen in the moment, not in a non-specified future.
Why is the EU protecting X and Elon Musk when this is clearly an issue that should put him in jail?

@hennavirkkunen Erm, why wait for X to take actions?
If a normal citizen is violating a law, that person is not politely ask afterwards to change the previous behaviour, but will be punished by law.
Granted, maybe there is no law yet specifically for that issue, but it could be derived from violating basic human rights like Art. 1 GG of the German constitution.

@hennavirkkunen In other words, a huff of talk as vacuous as it is virtuous whilst and at the same time allowing Xitter and Elon’s pedopornbot to go on businessing as usual.
Slow handclap.

@hennavirkkunen
Agree totally.
But:
What about sharing pictures of undressed politicians and their families who support X.Mr Trump and his family undressed.
Peter Thiel and his family undressed.
Musk and his family undressed.
Zuckerberg and his family undressed.
Meloni undressed with Milei and other politicians undressed.
Putin undressed.
All shown on TikTok, Insta etc.Why don't we do with them what they do with us? Perhaps it's the only way to win them.

@veroandi @ilumium @janwlrvn @hennavirkkunen Because it's still her personal choice?
@OddDev @ilumium @janwlrvn @hennavirkkunen
I'm fine if it's really her and her decision; I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a fake profile. If it was on the Commission instance, it certainly wouldn't be someone impersonating her.

@IreneMoews Is the phrase "when they go low, we go high" familiar to you?
You don't fight illegal or immoral activity by repeating it. That just gives the impression that you would have wanted to do it all the time, and now when the bad people do it, you can finally do it, too.
Sorry.

Account verification by domain is available. Let us hope this is just a bit of amateurism. IT should be taking care of this formally. That is what they are paid for.
