At my kids school the children have been using grok to create pics of other children without clothes on - chatgpt etc won’t let you do that - grok needs some controls and x seem unable to do that themselves.

What would raiding the office achieve in this case apart from just showing off power.

Normally getting raided by the police causes people and organizations to change their behavior.

In such a case specifically: Uncover internal communication that shows the company was aware of the problem and ignored it, which presumably affects liability a lot.

I wonder what they will find. They seemed to have acknowledged working on the problem before.

Have you seen some of the stuff in the Enron or Epstein emails? They can be rather candid and act as if there is nothing to hide or they will never get caught

Elites need a reckoning

Do you think they communicate via paper? Raiding office doesn't automatically gives them access to mail/slack etc. And internal comms could be asked for without the nuclear option of raiding the office

I'd expect to find most of the incriminating stuff in emails and short messages.

Relying on the accused to compile and provide evidence seems naive to me.

Companies are required by law to enable persistence. And in any case if we assume malice how would the police even get access to all emails by raiding if the message and mails are stored in cloud.

AFAIK police can just ask google/slack for the mails with proper warrant.

Why are you defending X here?

It sounds like they are following due process.

> Why are you defending X here?

What a strange question.

This is the cyber crime unit. They will exfiltrate any data they want. They will use employee account to pivot into the rest of the X network. They don't just go in, grab a couple of papers, laptops and phones. They hook into the network and begin cracking.

Enforcing the law usually is an inhibitor for criminals

But, isn't that bad for the criminals?
