In an interview with GB News, Farage has said that he opposes any discussion of the UK banning X/Twitter. This is despite the website facilitating the creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — i.e. what people once referred to as ‘child porn’:
Lets have it right Nigel – if any other online platform was generating sexually explicit images of children and women, you'd want it restricted, but this one is MAGA endorsed and pays you thousands to post on it. Honestly, this man would sell his granny for a tenner. https://t.co/uUarYpflow

How on Earth has Farage put himself in a position in which he’s advocating for the non-negotiable continuation of a site which is producing criminal imagery?
And let’s be real, once a website hosts CSAM, it’s a CSAM site no matter what else it’s publishing.
Grim
As we’ve reported, Musk’s Grok AI has been producing revenge porn and CSAM. Given that it also produced images of the slain Renee Nicole Good in a bikini, you could say it’s producing what you’d call necrophilic paraphilia or sexualised snuff content too:
Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini.
Multiple times.
Abusing women,shooting them, sexually degrading them in bikini edits is a major unrecognized force drawing men into hard right politics.

Speaking to GB News, Farage was asked the following:
you’ve supported victims of grooming gangs and sexual-based violence. Will you also take a stand against X as it is allowing these degrading images on their platform?
Farage answered:
Look, I think, you know, the whole grooming gangs scandal, and here we are in London, where it’s yet to be uncovered in the opinion of Reform UK. Of course, what is happening with this capacity on X is monstrous. But banning X is not the answer.
Talking to them and saying we can’t live with this; that’s the way forward
We’re going to ignore the fact that Farage is now talking about grooming scandals he has no evidence for even existing to get to the X stuff.
The situation as of right now is that the government is talking to X.

UPDATE: Ofcom says it has received a response from X about Grok
“We urgently made contact on Monday and set a firm deadline of today to explain themselves, to which we have received a response. We’re now undertaking an expedited assessment as a matter of urgency and will…

The UK government has gone into these talks making it clear that unless X stops generating CSAM and revenge porn, they will ban it. Farage would have gone into these discussions having said ‘we would never ban you under any circumstances‘.
Does he not understand how weak this is?
Jesus Christ, will he go into every discussion or negotiation like this?
And let’s not forget, it’s perfectly possible for Musk to turn off the CSAM tap; he just doesn’t seem to want to.

This disgusting, nerd pervert ISN’T EVEN FROM HERE, NIGEL. Aren’t you supposed to be a hyper-nationalist for fuck’s sake? How does taking orders from a South African tech deviant factor into that?
Look, we’re all in favour of a borderless world, but not like this.
Farage isn’t the only right winger who’s completely lost their mind on this topic either:
This is what Brexit was all about – getting our sovereignty back so we could beg unelected foreigners to take action against our democratically elected government, in order to keep producing child porn. pic.twitter.com/X01dnaFB48

Of course, there may be a good reason for Lowe to abandon his obviously phony values:
I, for one, cannot understand why men like Rupert Lowe are opposed to banning X, despite it assisting sex offenders, paying people to invite the foreign powers to invade the U.K, and allowing state-sponsored cyber warfare against our democracy.
It's a real mystery…

Farage — bad and getting worse
We’ve long been critical of Farage, but even we didn’t think he’d come out to defend a site publishing CSAM. And make no mistake, his response is a defence.
Musk has made it clear that he wants to continue publishing revenge porn, so by arguing against a ban in any instance, Farage is throwing his weight against the government position.
Oh, and on a final note, as much as Farage claims to speak out for the victims of grooming gangs, let’s not forget that many of those victims demanded a public apology from him after he publicly besmirched them.
What a horrible little man he is.
