UK threatens action against X over sexualised AI images of women and children

This further exposes just how pointless and ill-thought out the Online Safety Act was in the UK. It does nothing to actually limit harm at the source, and empower the UK's public body's to take immediate action.

Ironic that the minister who spearheaded that awful bill (Peter Kyle) as Tech minister is now being the government spokesperson for this debacle as Business Minister. The UK needs someone who knows how tech and business works to tackle this, and that's not Peter Kyle.

A platform suspension in the UK should have been swift, with clear terms for how X can be reinstated. As much as it appears Musk is doubling down on letting Grok produce CSAM as some form of free speech, the UK government should treat it as a limited breach or bug that the vendor needs to resolve, whilst taking action to block the site causing harm until they've fixed it.

Letting X and Grok continue to do harm, and get free PR, is just the worst case scenario for all involved.

roryirvine•1h ago
The draft Online Safety Bill was first published in 2021, was substantially re-written and re-introduced in early 2022, was amended over the course of the next 18 months, and eventually passed into law as the Online Safety Act in October 2023.

Peter Kyle was in opposition until July 2024, so how could he have spearheaded it?

Festro•1h ago
Because he implemented it under his tenure in July 2025. He didn't come up with it, he spearheaded its actual implementation. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
tonyedgecombe•1h ago
The first conviction under the bill was March 2024 so that makes no sense.
Festro•1h ago
Why would it make no sense? Like many bills/acts, it came into effect in stages. You're referring to new laws/crimes that came into effect in January 2024.

I'm referring to the Act's powers to compel companies to actually do things in my original comment. I don't know exactly when various parts came into effect that would constitute that, but for the point of my post I'm going on Peter Kyle's own website's dated reference to holding companies accountable.

"As of the 24th July 2025, platforms now have a legal duty to protect children"

https://www.peterkyle.co.uk/blog/2025/07/25/online-safety-ac...

I don't understand why people are taking issue with that. Peter Kyle is the minister who delivered the measures from the bill that a lot of people are angry about and this latest issue on X is just another red flag that the bill is poorly worded and thought out putting too much emphasis on ID age checks for citizens than actually stopping any abuse. Peter Kyle is the one who called out objections to the bill as being on the "side of predators". Peter Kyle is now the one, despite having moved department, who is somehow commenting on this issue.

Totally happy to call out the Tories, and prior ministers who worked on the Bill/Act but Kyle implemented it, made reckless comments about, and now is trying to look proactive about an issue it covers that it's so ineffectively applying to.

Partisan politics has rotted peoples brains, I wonder if it is by design to lower peoples critical thinking skills or if it is just a fringe benefit from the tribalism it creates.
chrisjj•28m ago
The OSA very much does empower action e.g. against images of extreme sexual violence and extreme pornography.

It does not empower platform suspension for bikinification.

And there's as yet no substaNtiation of your claim Grok produces CSAM.

This is a purely political move to censor dissent by a government that polls like a minor party and is slated for electoral wipeout next election. If it were not, they'd issue the same threats to Gemini and ChatGPT.

Flagged for the title implying men have no rights. That's totally uncalled for and I hope such submission titles are not allowed here.
graemep•11m ago
I agree with the underlying point and the social bias it reflects (which i have experienced myself) but the title here is (as usual) just the article so The Guardian is to blame rather than HN.

I think the solution is not to disallow the titles, but to comment on them and draw attention to the sexism in the article.

bmacho•7m ago
The solution is absolutely disallow offending titles. The same principle that would make HN moderators take down a "Kill all the Jews" title from the front page should apply for this one too.

Submission titles should be the original article titles, as long as those aren't problematic.

So I guess in the 90s they would’ve sued Adobe for not putting spyware into Photoshop?

If you believe in democracy, and the rule of law, and citizenship, then the responsibility obviously lies with people who create and publish pictures, not the makers of tools.

Think of it. You can use a phone camera to produce illegal pictures. What kind of a world would we live in if Apple was required to run an AI filter on your pics to determine whether they comply with the laws?

A different question is if X actually hosts generated pictures that are illegal in the UK. In that case, X acts as a publisher, and you can sue them along with the creator for removal.

Photoshop does have (since the late 1990s or so) algorithms to detect and prevent editing images of currency.

The power of the AI tools is so great in comparison to a non-AI image editor that there's probably debate on who -- the user, or the operator of the AI -- is creating the image.

graemep•15m ago
There is a big difference between running spyware on things running locally, and monitoring how people use a service running on your own computers. The former means you have to exfiltrate data, the latter is monitoring data you already have.

Photoshop in the 90s was the former, Grok is the latter.

dunhuang_nomad•26m ago
This move makes perfect sense to me. I think people are bit too online pilled to think about this as if it were a different product.

If you produce a product that causes harm, and there are steps that could be taken to prevent that harm, you should be held responsible for it. Before the trump admin dropped the Boeing case, Boeing was going to be held liable for design defects in its Max planes that caused crashes. The government wasn’t going after Boeing bc a plane crashed, but bc Boeing did not take adequate steps from preventing that from happening.
