Huge news out of the UK as they roll out #ageverification requirements & X begins complying - this is a big signal for American legislators: The sky will not fall when commonsense laws require online platforms to think about child safety! Tech adjusts & we move forward. #KOSA
Good to read the @X plans for Highly Effective Age Assurance - perhaps not quite ready for day one, but they've temporarily blocked NSFW content where age checks are now required, presumably until they get the extensive range of AV methods operating help.x.com/en/rules-and-p…
Around 6,000 porn sites start checking ages in UK bbc.in/46Z0MGA
From today, commercial pornography sites in the UK must ensure under-18s are blocked from accessing their content. We welcome this safeguarding milestone but implementation matters. We’ll be watching closely. bbc.co.uk/news/resources… #OnlineSafetyAct #ChildProtection
Amazing news! 👏👏 Now it’s our turn, America.
Well done to everyone who campaigned to ensure age verification for pornography was in the Online Safety Act! Today it comes into force and while no doubt there will be some who get around it, it means young kids in particular won’t be stumbling on violent and harmful porn.
Today @ofcom is written to @SciTechgovuk Secretary of State @peterkyle stating "92 of the top 100 publishers of pornography in the UK, representing over 1,300 sites, have already deployed age check in line with the requirements that came into force earlier this year"
So now human beauty standards are going to be set by AI models morphing together the most beautiful women on the planet into an imaginary, artificial ideal…? How could this possibly go wrong.
Vogue’s August issue has begun to use “AI models” instead of human models for some of their photoshoots.
Today, Common Sense Media, @EncodeAction, @NCOSE, @ncypalliance, @fairplayforkids and 170 organizations sent a letter to Congressional leaders urging them to not revive the AI moratorium. See the full letter here: bit.ly/AISafetyLetter

GREAT news from UK. "X" acts like a porn site (& allows porn w/ no age/consent verification btw) -so let's treat it accordingly. "Musk has been told X must block children from all pornographic content on his platform by Friday–or face the prospect of multi-million pound fines."
🔥It's finally happening (in the UK)! telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
After 5 years of NCOSE and @protecteyes applying public pressure and legislative action, Apple will automatically enable nudity blurring in iMessages and it’s “limit adult websites” filter in the Safari browser for all minors age 0-17. Link below to learn more about this…
Ridiculous. #xAI & X have no track record of prioritizing child safety. X allows porn with no age/consent verification & so it teems w/ child & adult sexual abuse materials. xAI is pushing out “NSFW” AI bots. This company needs to leave kids alone. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Exactly. This type of “companion" is aiming for the lowest in humanity-encouraging dehumanization and fueling an appetite for child-themed material and CSAM (little girl face, mannerisms and pigtails). People who don’t have a callous, seared conscience immediately recognize the…
👀 Ok, but do we need an ethics disclosure if legislators / Hill staff with authority over #AI regulation are also “romantically” involved with AI bots? 🤖 Ha! / Yikes!
