should elon tell the frogs to go get stuffed?

quote:

PARIS—French prosecutors are summoning Elon Musk to the French capital again—this time to face preliminary criminal charges in a sprawling investigation into his social-media platform, X.

The new summons, just weeks after Musk didn’t show up for a voluntary interview with French prosecutors, escalates a trans-Atlantic feud over France’s handling of its long-running probe of X. It also underscores a growing divergence between the U.S. and Europe over how—and whether—tech platforms like X should police online speech.

The U.S. Justice Department last month declined to cooperate with the French investigation and called it a “politically charged criminal proceeding aimed at wrongfully regulating through prosecution the business activities of a social media platform.”

That came after a February raid on X’s Paris offices by French law enforcement and prosecutors seeking evidence in their probe.
The investigation, which began in 2025 with allegations of a biased algorithm, has since grown to include charges of violating the secrecy of correspondence, dissemination of child pornography and the creation of sexualized deepfake images by its Grok chatbot.

Dude better tell them to get fricked and if they try to shut him down over there, park some Starlink right over France and give the public access to wide open, non-censored internet.

Do you have evidence that they willfully allow the dissemination of child porno or are you speaking out of your arse

Grok was making deep fake porn with underage people. Don't know if they fixed that.

Is there evidence that it is allowed, or a headline grabbing accusation?

AI shouldn't be 100% free of regulation, but suing Elon for child porn reads like suing the blacksmith for forging the axe murderer's axe

We have section 230 protections here, I'm not sure if they have anything similar in France/the EU though.

If someone sends cp images through fedex, should fedex employees be criminally punished?

That’s like saying Adobe’s CEO should be liable for misuse of photoshop

If they don't like X, they can block it on their end. Tell them to go get fricked.

You are such a liar. Grok has NEVER been able to make lewd photos. People have tried and tried.

People were asking Grok to wrap people in bubble wrap or plastic wrap, but even then, there was no nudity.Questionable at best

Sir, Powerman is a highly educated poster with a focus on economics and geopolitics. He would never make a false or disingenuous claim.
