Starmer Ends Boycott of X
Starmer reappeared on the platform with a post, marking his first return since Jan. 8, when he withdrew amid controversy surrounding X’s AI system, Grok, and its role in producing non‑consensual sexualized images of women and children.
"Free speech is not the freedom to violate consent. Young women’s images are not public property, and their safety is not up for debate," Starmer declared.
“I welcome that X is now acting to ensure full compliance with UK law – it must happen immediately,” he added.
He further indicated readiness to strengthen online safety measures, saying: “If we need to strengthen existing laws further, we are prepared to do that.”
The dispute began after reports that Grok was being exploited to generate inappropriate alterations of images of women and children, sparking widespread alarm over online harms and possible violations of the UK’s Online Safety Act.
On Monday, the UK’s online safety regulator Ofcom launched a formal investigation into X over concerns that Grok is being used to create sexualized content.
