Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey Demands Action Against Elon Musk Over X 'Crimes'
Sir Ed Davey has called on the UK's communications regulator Ofcom to launch an investigation into Elon Musk and his social media platform X, citing "crimes" being committed on the site. The Liberal Democrat leader made the demand in an interview with the BBC, specifically referencing alleged breaches of the Online Safety Act.
According to Sir Ed, X has shown advertisements for content featuring paedophile images, self-harming, and grooming. He claims Musk should be held personally accountable for these breaches. The Online Safety Act, which came into force earlier this year, requires internet companies to introduce stricter age verification checks and face fines for failing to remove illegal content.
The government insists the laws will protect children, but have faced a backlash from US tech giants. X has been contacted for a response but has yet to comment.
This is a developing story as Ofcom considers Sir Ed's demand for an investigation into Musk and X. The Liberal Democrats are gathering in Bournemouth for their annual conference, where this issue is likely to be a major talking point.
