@bloor The steps should be:

1. What is X AI / Grok specifically (legally) falling foul of?
2. What regulatory body has officially informed X that they are in contravention of the above?
3. What level of expectation was there on X to not be in contravention (i.e. what type of penalty is applicable that this happened at all) vs is this an appropriate situation that as long as X remediates within a reasonable timescale then no action necessarily needs to be taken?
4. What is X's immediate response to being informed of contravention (statement to regulator, not just changing a platform setting and pretending all is sorted)?
5. Is the immediate response deemed suitable and appropriate by the regulatory body?
6. What is the long-term response provided by X?
7. Is the long-term response implemented as agreed/with approval of regulatory body and does it reasonably prevent similar future reoccurrences?

If - after all that - any of the answers/responses are unsatisfactory, then a ban becomes appropriate.

I know many would want something much more decisive and quicker (not to say the above points can't be done quickly if desired), but that's the reasonable steps any business should be taken through. It isn't right for the highest levels of government to jump on a bandwagon of prejudice simply because it's becoming the "in thing" to hate on a particular platform/company (although won't be the first time).

@GossiTheDog Security spending flowchart:

"Do we actually use this security product?" -> No -> Renew anyway

"Does this junior analyst role have a notable impact on the wider team and business?" -> Absolutely yes -> Get rid of 'em

@newsthump Oh come on, what did everyone expect? Turns out Elon's fascination with the term 'X' isn't any sort of coincidence that it's similar to 'XXX'.

Same idea, just a third of the age.

@inthehands Not only do they need an ICE officer to get killed - eventually most of those that have become ICE officers will be rounded up and imprisoned themselves.

They are the unruly chaos that any fascist wannabe-dictator initially relies on to create the disruption that is used as cause to seize more power. However, at some point those in power become scared of no longer being able to even control them and eventually crack down on the very group they created (usually as a story swung as "we've dealt with the extremist corruption that's grown in this organisation, look moderate population, we are on your side")
