We\u2019re only ten days into 2026, and we\u2019ve already got a war, a revolution and now an incipient social media ban. Allegedly.<\/p>\n

Apparently, X\u2019s GrokAI is editing photos to put people in bikinis on request, and this is terrible. Something must be done.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to get into the details, or bother quibbling over what is (or is not) pornographic material or sexual assault, whether bikinis are inherently sexual or whether AI generated fake images really count as \u201cundressing\u201d\u2026because none of that is really the issue.<\/p>\n

For our purposes, this is just [Issue X].<\/p>\n

[Issue X] could be<\/em> women in bikinis, but it could just as easily be burning Korans, death threats, climate denialism, \u201canti-vaccine misinformation\u201d or swastikas.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it has been any and all of those things in the past, and likely will be again.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the form of supposedly abhorrent content that should be discussed, but the functions by which our rulers would see it suppressed.<\/p>\n

And one solution proposed by Sir<\/em> Keir Starmer is to ban twitter<\/a>. Which is upsetting a lot of people.<\/p>\n

Too many people, considering it\u2019s almost certainly not going to happen.<\/p>\n

Firstly, Keir Starmer isn\u2019t empowered to, or capable of, making his own policy decisions. No more than Ronald McDonald sets the price of McNuggets. So there\u2019s no point in talking about what he wants.<\/p>\n

Second, why on Earth would they go to all the trouble of creating this billion-dollar fake free speech platform and then stop people from using it?<\/p>\n

No, what\u2019s going to happen is a compromise that drags us further into the age of digital ID for all.<\/p>\n

X\/Twitter has already made a change that limits the use of GrokAI image generation to paid accounts<\/a>. Paid accounts, naturally, have to be verified with bank details and identity documents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only the smallest change to simply enact a new \u201ccompromise measure\u201d that will require ALL accounts to verify in one way or another. That could be an X measure, and\/or new legislation in the UK.<\/p>\n

Rather tellingly, this was being suggested as a \u201csolution\u201d within hours of the story first breaking:<\/p>\n

Why don\u2019t we make it so only ID or passport verified profiles can use Grok? all of the media you make it generate goes on an unremovable public tab on your profile. This tab can be used against you in court e.g when applying for custody of your kids, and your employer can see it.\u2026<\/p>\n
