UK media regulator investigating Elon Musk’s X after outcry over sexualised AI images Ofcom investigating site under Online Safety Act, with a de facto ban among possible punishments

Okay, now Ofcom is stepping in to see if X broke the Online Safety Act.

Will international police forces apply pressure to X to find and persecute the men who perpetrated this digital abuse of women and children?
