having what is effectively a "generate porn of this person and send it to them" button under every selfie or photo anyone posts was a very bad idea and crosses a line that a very, very large number of people are uncomfortable with. it's more an issue with image generators in general than with twitter specifically but it should be obvious to see why making it so in-your-face would draw significantly more attention to this already very controversial topic. grok makes targeted sexual harassment effortless.

The average person isn't going to see that. They aren't personally directly effected by any of that in their day to day lives, as far as they can tell. Minor inconveniences at worst for a lot of people. You feel cute and post a selfie, and suddenly get flooded with AI generated porn of yourself? You post a pic of your kids and suddenly get flooded with dozens of indecent images of them? That's something the average person is directly seeing and which directly involves them. It's targeted at them, specifically, in a way that is going to cause an immediate response. It's not some vague concept that someone somewhere is being censored for something or other, it's porn of them being sent at them whenever they post any pictures of themselves. It drags the majority of people who just want to go about their day and don't want to care about any of these things into it and forces them to care.

The UK has their current government BECAUSE they didn't vote because no matter what they vote for they won't get what they want

Once again, the government has not gave a single shit about the people, no matter who's voted in. It's a power play, the EU and co has fucking hated the American social medias for forever and instead of attempting fuck it over by actually legislating over the bad, this is what they go insane over, when they can't even clean up their crap locally?
