It's very concerning that X's ai Grok has such little restriction. It's design and general basis leans toward a predatory design. It's lack of understanding of base ethics presents a serious security risk.

Hopefully this is more than just talk, been burned too much by others before. Would be happy to see some real action, senator.

Thank you, Senator. There is no reason for ai chatbots to be protected under the rubric of free speech. Grok should have its CSAM and revenge-porn activities shut down and X should be suspended until that happens.

@wyden.senate.gov Can you please send formal letters to every AG of every state?

The First Amendment protects people, not bots and algorithms.

That guy is fantastic.

uhhhhh if there's a FEDERAL law, why is it on states to take action?

Thank you for 230.

Do they have an exemption from the 18 USC §2257 laws that every adult media site already has to follow?

Thank you for speaking up about this. Are you in communication with Oregon's AG about urgent action on this? Every day without charges in this industrial-scale CSAM and revenge porn scheme enables further abuse and trauma of women and children.

No.

You claiming you wrote 230, and thinking it was some kind of protection, screams how fucking stupid you are. That minimalist protection of the the tech companies has opened the floodgates for what is destroying society. Fuck you.

Section 230 should not apply the moment a company decides what I see I get the original intent to protect speech by ensuring social media companies don’t get sued for user speech But why can’t I sue them when harm results if they choose & amplify speech? Why do we lose our right to sue?

it's the same company...

They better get off their ass and do it pronto

Or (stick with me here) the Article I folks (like you) could use EVERY AVAILABLE MEANS to hold said pedophiles to account. There's nothing wrong with states stepping up, but your message above seems like you're effectively punting to 50 states to each 'sort it out' (likely in 50 different ways).

I think he's saying no new legislation is necessary and states could prosecute for production of CSAM based on current law.

Strengthen the right for families to seek, secure gender affirming care for any child ,full stop.

This is already the law, as the Air Canada case in Canada shows, litigation is just always way slower than harms

A+ Messaging! Please say this on the Senate floor, unless you have already, in which case please share the clip!

We have a statute in place that deals with this. Use it!!

How about - and here's a thought - Congress holds the administration accountable?

Any manipulated or AI images MUST be labeled as such. Period.

I mean in this case it's both in terms of responsibility. Not user SPEECH, but the users requesting and disseminating revenge porn and CSAM seem pretty clearly criminally liable as well for such.

Yeah, there was some discussion of an esteemed web old head who had a rule, the gist of which was, you can't fire the computer, so don't let it make management decisions.

The states aren't going to do anything because they're too scared of reprisal, just like everyone else in the government has been for the past 8 years.

There are so many other damages to society from social media, e.g. pushing hatred and division. Not least by X. Social media needs to be regulated.

Question. Why is DOD giving $200 million to EM's Grok & the rest of the federal government is also planning to integrate Grok/xAI into its platforms? www.gsa.gov/about-us/new...

Paging @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @newyorkstateag.bsky.social EM actively tweaked Grok in his own image (deeming previous versions too "woke") and despite clear notice of the deep fake images his bot is producing is not doing anything to stop it.

Absolutely

Where is Rob Bonta? He needs to bring criminal charges NOW!

Great. What are you saying about the man trying to make Lebensraum? In case you haven't read a history book, if you don't do something now, he's coming for the Senate next.

It's pretty fucking pathetic the grace you give these people. Republicans are annoying and fucking tenacious when they're in the minority and best Wyden can do is tweet "we can't do anything" and say Trump is protecting pedophiles instead of idk...maybe calling him the child rapist that he is?

Do you think Chuck Schumer is a competent leader? If not, why isn't Wyden trying to replace him? Was the government shutdown "promise" not extremely embarrassing?

I appreciate the thought that went in to section 230, but all these years later, isn’t it clear that these largest companies ever do not need special protection at all? And as long as there is protection at all, shouldn’t we expert courts to bend in favor of the company.

Arrest Musk for distributing child pornography. It's not that complicated.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a platform.

I never said big tech companies shouldn't be broken up, or that Twitter shouldn't be held accountable for the output of the "AI" it created and runs I said repealing section 230 is not the answer to these problems, because it isn't; nor are ID-verification or anti-"obscenity" (loosely defined) laws

And all of this is fueled by western powers, not even just the US, seeing what an open internet and free flow of information/independent journalism did to the narrative around Israel's genocide in Gaza They do not want that to happen again and will kill the internet to ensure it doesn't

Section 230 protects providers from liability for user speech that passes through their systems. It provides no protection (nor should it) for the providers own speech.

👏

Yes

Yup. It was done to goose the golden egg they hoped the Internet would become. It was to encourage use of the technology. And it ultimately enabled social media.

Courts have expanded it way beyond what the text says.

You should rein in Twitter/X, Senator, and get that site shut down.

All government accounts should leave that festering sewer.

There are already laws to shut the site down. Use those.

@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov

It shouldn't cover algorithmically determined feeds either.
