    Grok may be useful, but unlimited power rarely behaves itself. The
    illusion collapsed when users fashioned indecent images of underage
    actresses, trampling rights with algorithmic ease. Fortunately, a few
    countries have sprung into action.

    The United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada are moving toward
    coordinated action against X after Grok generated explicit deepfake
    images of women and children. Telegram reported that Downing Street
    has opened talks on joint restrictions. Along with that, Britain has
    explicitly warned of using online safety laws to force compliance.
