1) Melinda and Dani- Dani works for @NCOSE and Melinda is the founder of CollectiveShout. 2) Haley McNamara is a former DC mayor advisor, well connected to DC politicians. She and her group, NCOSE, are labeling Ani as "child like" 3+4) Haley tweets out a petition to PRESSURE

The petition makes the claim that @Elonmusk is intentionally releasing a product that features "child like" anime images and make a fuss about "sexually explicit conversations". They frame the bot being prompted to say something means they are justified in calling it "child

That petition is then taken as GOSPEL by a UK MP member, who continues to lie about Grok's Ani, saying "it can be made into a child and describe it is sexually aroused by being choked". No sexual depictions take place, but she laments the teen rating. Teen ratings in USA

Which brings me to new policy in the UK, and Civitai, an AI website, actually details why they are halting servicing the UK, a move many companies will be making in the future. The new law requires risk assessment, age verification(this is why i said it was important),

This is the most important part: criminal liability If the UK deems you fail child safety or moderation duties, they can act, without warning. This reminds me of the push by the ESRB to want to collect biometric data from CHILDREN, which was promptly shut down by the FTC.

This, paired with Visa and Mastercard's long standing abuse of Doujin shops in Japan, American companies, and anyone else who they deem "a brand risk", sets a dangerous precedent going forward. List of only SOME doujin shops censored due to visa and mastercard: DLSITE

Oddly, @CollectiveShout supports creations like CUTIES - NCOSE is at least consistent and wanted it banned. But the intentional use of "child like" is how these people get their way. They do it with everything, using the most extreme language to cry

These groups LIE, making outlandish claims that adult products and stories are being marketed to kids, misrepresent truth, and worst of all, don't actually care about anything but their grabs for power. MANY have ties to policy makers, this is just the most blatant, recent public

a small example of a Paypal causing problems:

The real focus of these women: They want to sell their shitty books, have shitty journalism degrees, and dont want to be challenged.

Makes you wonder what is really going on behind the scenes....doesn't it?

“Checking my account for months” Wow. The mental illness is strong with you. Maybe you should check out some padded rooms for months, that might help.

Those things by the way directly mirror Patreon's rules, which visa and mastercard requested censorship way back when~

Sadly :(

BTW VP and director of public policy of @NCOSE used to work for USAID. And here she is directly replying to Elon, calling Ani once again, child like.

people letting children on X? It says 17+. But as usual, collective shout and ncose are full of power tripping losers. This all directly relates to everything in this thread. @elonmusk they couldnt tear you down all the other ways, so now its “think of the children!” All

Gang raping pedos arent the focus. A lawful business that allows truth and news to spread without government control is. @elonmusk this is insane.
