X Corp: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with X on removing illegal material.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The Secretary of State has repeatedly called out illegal content on X including when the Grok AI tool was being used to create and share degrading, non-consensual intimate deepfakes.
Government engages regularly with online platforms, including X, to press for swift action on illegal content. Ministers have made clear that companies must act decisively, and have recently convened senior social media representatives to reinforce expectations, including on harms such as antisemitism.
X has recently made public commitments to Ofcom to better protect UK users from illegal hate and terror content, including expedited timescales for reviewing illegal hate and terror content, which Ofcom is monitoring closely.
