Billionaire Musk made a defiant response against Sir Keir Starmer, who said he was leaving 'all options' on the table in response to the widespread fury over X, reposting an image of Sir Keir in a bikini with the caption 'they just want to suppress free speech'. Sir Keir dismissed Musk's changes to his AI tool as 'insulting' to victims, with the tool limiting its image generation and editing features to only paying subscribers of the site. He was abundantly clear that X needs to act and needs to act now, it is time for X to grip this issue. Sir Keir on Thursday called on X to 'get their act together' amid concerns about the AI creation of sexualised images of adults and children on the site. Under the Online Safety Act in the UK, social media firms must prevent and remove child sexual abuse material when they become aware of it.
