This will come up against issues of process & feasibility, but may be an alternative to the now much criticised plan for a blanket under-16s social media ban?
Its clear that Grok's image scandal has (finally) galvanised a political response to big tech's hands-off attitude to such abuse.

h/t FT@ChrisMayLA6 Whatever happened to Ofcom's investigation into X? The one that they hoped would have a speedy result. That was weeks ago, and not a peep out of them since.

h/t FTSure, but requiring users to monitor the entire internet to report crimes is still a horrifically bad approach to online safety.
The platforms themselves must bear the burden of monitoring (and acting).

#RegulateTechIn a world where AI porn (or other bad things) can be created and posted in minutes...
Where algorithms boost it to thousands (or millions) or people...
Who can then repost and share in a click...
Across a half-dozen major tech platforms...
Who really thinks that 48 hour takedown (after user report) is a solution?
Imagine that safety approach to cars or meds.

h/t FTI hope this is a multilateral move.
Fines at 10% of global revenue imposed by multiple countries could wipe out US social media companies.

#RegulateTechIndeed, but even this will likely confront significant resistance & lobbying I'm guessing
