Rumours are flying that Australia might ban X (formerly Twitter) because of issues with Grok generating inappropriate images. As @techAU, active on X since February 2008 with 174,000+ posts and 56,000 followers, I explain why banning the entire platform would be a huge mistake.
In this quick video I cover:
How X is still the fastest place for breaking news and real conversations
The real concerns raised by Australia's eSafety Commissioner about AI-generated abuse. What X has already done to limit misuse (Premium-only image gen + bans for bad actors). Why Grok's problems shouldn't kill one of the most important social platforms we have.
Banning X would silence millions of voices in Australia at a time when open discussion matters more than ever. Let's fix the issues — not shut down the conversation.
What do you think — should X face restrictions, or is a full ban going too far?
