Subhead:Sheila Gunn Reid and David Menzies discuss a rumour that circulated over the weekend suggesting the British government, along with Canada and Australia, was seeking to ban X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.# YouTube-embed:_8hgdeGW16U A rumour suggesting the British government, alongside its close allies in Australia and Canada, would act to ban X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform, after users began using its integrated artificial intelligence program to create deepfake images. But the rumour appears limited, for now at least, to conversations between governments without firm action. However, the British government has previously warned it could take steps to restrict access to the platform — something the Trump administration has warned would draw the ire of American officials. On Monday's Rebel Roundup livestream , hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and David Menzies weighed in after AI and Digital Innovation Minister Evan Solomon said the Liberals had no plans to block the app in Canada. “It's completely logical for those in the mainstream media to want X evaporated,” said David, blasting legacy journalists who were quick to support the decision — while posting on the very platform they were condemning.
