Middlesbrough Councillor Urges Council To Quit X
|
7.1
Labour councillor David Branson urged Middlesbrough Council to leave social platform X after reports that its AI tool Grok was used to create sexualised deepfake images. The call came during a meeting on violence against women and girls, while Ofcom has opened an investigation and the government says it will enforce a law criminalising non-consensual deepfakes. The council says it uses X for public service updates.
