Today, I’m launching a High Court claim against xAI, the company behind Grok.
I am just one of thousands of women and even children who have been the victim of abusive and sexualised AI deepfakes.
This should never have happened – and xAI must be held accountable.

Jess Phillips will shortly be reading the names of UK women killed where men are the suspect in the year since International Women Day 2025.
For almost one in five of those women, their son has been charged with or found guilty of their killing.

Having long called for this, I welcome today’s announcement.
Too many victims experience further harm in the justice system - facing disproportionate requests for personal data, delays & poor communication.

Following this outrageous case, I’ve signed this letter along with many other MPs asking the CEO of @TravelodgeUK for an urgent meeting.
Seriously @TravelodgeUK - how can any woman feel safe staying at one of your hotels with this level of response?
And to offer £30? How deplorable.

I didn't know what I would discover when I started to read the Epstein files. I'm not sure many women realize how far our world is run by a club of women-hating men

The "national conversation" on SEND reform closed this week. The Govt should be pleased to know that most of its questions are answered in existing SEND law and the SEND Code of Practice. ipsea.org.uk/blog/responding…

If you used those tools to create this image of a real woman and then shared it on socials without consent - you'd be in trouble.
These tools do not automatically share.
Grok allows users to make the image and share the image with millions instantly.
It is clearly different

Grok is now undressing photos of me as a child. This is a website where the owner says to post photos of your children. I really don’t care if people want to call me “scorned” this is objectively horrifying, illegal, and if it has happened to anybody else, DM me. I got time.

Horrifying. And for the accused men to be granted bail. My heart goes out to Joanne
Using photos like this instead of mug shots has the benefit of showing how 'normal'/'respectable' these guys are. 13 yrs he was committing the most abhorrent of crimes.
