X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.

@ilumium @hennavirkkunen Is this a real account?

@janwlrvn @ilumium @hennavirkkunen
"Die für die digitale Unabhängigkeit der EU zuständige Vizepräsidentin, Henna Virkkunen, eröffnete dort erst am Abend erstmals ein offizielles Benutzerkonto, wie die EU-Kommission der dpa mitteilte.Virkkunen habe beschlossen, ihre Präsenz in den sozialen Medien zu diversifizieren und europäische Unternehmen zu fördern, sagte ein Sprecher der Kommission."
Streit mit Musks Plattform: Trotz Kritik an X: EU-Spitzenvertreter nicht bei Mastodon
Von der Leyen & Co. kritisieren X scharf, posten auf Elon Musks Plattform aber weiterhin politische Botschaften - nicht hingegen bei der deutschen Konkurrenz Mastodon. Eine Kommissarin ändert das nun.

Good question. The Mastodon instance for the European Comission is this one: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@E…
so why would she use mastodon.social

X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.
The EU Commission has already:
• taken investigative steps
• ordered the company to retain internal documents.X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly.
If not, we will not hesitate to take additional measures under the DSA.

This is blindly too little.
Ban twitter. It is a dirty needle, and it's CSAM, and its subversive, and it's fascism.

@leanderlindahl @ilumium @hennavirkkunen Thanks. But it's indeed a bit weird she's not on the official instance of the @EUCommission

@hennavirkkunen hello Henna,
And why wait until slow gears of governments and legislators finally catch up with this. I have been looking at the web pages and online presences of politicians, organisations, companies etc here in Ireland. If I see a link to follow them on X I contact them and ask them how they can morally justify keeping a presence there. Yes we need to look at legal action agains X and Grok, but while we're waiting for that we can keep pushing those entities to #LoseTheXLink

@janwlrvn @ilumium @hennavirkkunen @EUCommission my guess is she's testing it out a bit. And .social is where you wind up if you try it out as a regular user without the IT folks involved.
The article says "only this evening did she register an account"

@leanderlindahl @janwlrvn Quite frankly, I don't mind the server she's on. Just happy she's made the excellent choice to join Mastodon.

When EU and it's representatives are leaving X?

@hennavirkkunen
Ah welcome here, and thank you for the notice.You might want to consider getting on the ec.social-network.europa.eu server, like @EUCommission
Having a dedicated EU server for messaging, will be convenient for journalists and send a strong signal.

@hennavirkkunen I think you should invite @_elena to give you a run down on Masto and the Fediverse. She's our ambassador (not officially, but in my mind).
You can also ask @pallenberg for insights and advice.
And @carl for the "scientist's" and psychological defence experts point of view.

@hennavirkkunen welcome to Mastodon! It is very important for the EC, the EU and national governments to finally get off the oligarch-run hatred multiplier networks of Musk, Zuckerberg and the CCP to help deprive these of their users, their revenues and their polarising effect on our societies. We have to get the rising far-right parties and proto-fascist movements in check. One building block in this effort will be to make it harder for them to push their hatred.

@hennavirkkunen "end of 2026" is not that 'quickly'. isn't it?

@newstik
As the smallest measure at all.
@hennavirkkunen -
Komissiolla on jo Mastodon-palvelin. Se voisi toki olla primaarimpi kanava ja olla muutakin kuin yksisuuntaista megafonia.
@EUCommission
@kallekn @hennavirkkunen@osma @EUCommission @kallekn @hennavirkkunen Se komission kanava on aika turha, kun sen seuraaminen tuntuu vähän samalta kuin välttämättä tilaisi itselleen mainoksia ilman sisältöä.

@hennavirkkunen You'd also wonder what material they train their model on to achieve this?!

@hennavirkkunen The EU commission is almost about to ask X/Grok to
* Water the plants
* Wash their hands
* Use decent speechOther than that, the Commission is going to do precisely zip, as it could upset the Orange Clown. And that would mean they'd need to do some actual political work. And we couldn't let that happen, could we.
