Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores?

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

The UK's MP's are unwilling to tolerate this kind of Big Brother : Both Georges Orwells, and Aldux Huxley were brits.
Henry the 8th, acted decisively against the feudal "Big Brother" in a brutal way : beading of his wife Ann Bollin, and his friend the bishop Thomas More. This first Brexit has most likely spared England of the terrible religions wars in the rest of Europe.

Now expect the UK to do what the EU, is unwilling or unable to do.

Are You Your Friends’ Friend? Poor Perception of Friendship Ties Limits the Ability to Promote Behavioral Change

Persuasion is at the core of norm creation, emergence of collective action, and solutions to ‘tragedy of the commons’ problems. In this paper, we show that the directionality of friendship ties affect the extent to which individuals can influence the behavior of each other. Moreover, we find that people are typically poor at perceiving the directionality of their friendship ties and that this can significantly limit their ability to engage in cooperative arrangements. This could lead to failures in establishing compatible norms, acting together, finding compromise solutions, and persuading others to act. We then suggest strategies to overcome this limitation by using two topological characteristics of the perceived friendship network. The findings of this paper have significant consequences for designing interventions that seek to harness social influence for collective action.
