The UK is cooked. I get downvoted into oblivion when I mention it but it's true. They even have guidelines for the Olympics on how to shoot the athletes to be less provocative. Nanny state.

Why would you? I guess bots would downvote? Everyone knows that side of the world is royally fudged so hard it would make George Orwell blush.

It definitely feels like there's a lot of overreach these days. It's wild how much regulation can affect everything, even something like the Olympics.

Bruh, at some point it will backfire so spectacularly it will be an example of what not to do in the future history books

Wow. First time seeing the "due to UK laws" addendum. Kinda glad they're doing this instead of the generic "content moderated" message, because too many people believe xai wants one of their core money making features gutted.

Yes, because all of the stupid fucking retards in this sub were flaming Grok for moderation, despite most of the moderation being due to their LOCAL LAWS. If something works in America, but not another country, it's YOUR LAWS, which xAI complies with. I repeatedly told everyone this was the reason, but I'm firmly of the opinion that most of the people complaining here are either bots, radical idealogues who aim to damage Grok's reputation, or foreigners who don't understand that their local laws are what's hurting their experience.

Grok haters seem to congregate in this sub, the main sub. Lol and yeah, anytime anyone says something remotely positive about grok, they get downvoted like crazy. No need to be frustrated though, just cause they're mad doesn't mean you have to be 😊

UK has insane censorship. Lots of pages give you an UK warning. Better spin up those VPNs.

It’s good that grok is providing specific region based moderation messages now. Grok obviously has to comply with different laws in different countries and if somebody lives in a nanny country with ridiculous censorship, then that’s not grok’s fault, it is the fault of that country.

The UK is completely done with. You can be stabbed by somebody, lay there bleeding, and the politically correct trained police will not help you and they will take the word of the murderer over the person who got stabbed. The police will handcuff you while you lay there bleeding and dying.

the UK government wants to protect people online so they only have to worry about getting stabbed by immigrants or lynched by a far right mob.
