Yes, some of the things that the EU regulates don't exist in the US.
But CSAM production and dissemination is illegal in both jurisdictions. Say that ELon is trying to monetize child sexual abuse and all of a sudden it's simply about basic crime.

There's no reason to believe the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers indicted on the main indictments, plural, are in ICE (though some affiliates might be, and it doesn't much matter bc Jonathan Ross is a Proud Boy fan).
The indictment of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers revealed that they had a cache of weapons, entered the Capitol in military formation, and were prepared to harm lawmakers. They were all pardoned and no doubt many of them are now in ICE

The @nytimes.com coverage of France's Grok investigation casts it as part of a conflict between U.S. & European speech rules. That's true only if you buy Elon's version.
This is a case about CSAM and NCII. Those are crimes in France, and crimes in the U.S. There's no transatlantic divide here. 1/

Fifteen seconds. That’s how long it took for a gunman to change our lives forever when he killed 6 people and injured 13 others, including my wife Gabby. It’s why we’ve spent years pushing for stronger gun laws. It’s not about politics — it’s about working toward a safer America.

Conservationists find dunlin chicks thriving in boggy habitat created in collaboration with landowners
Deep in the Cumbrian Pennines, walkers might be lucky enough to spot small birds with spindly legs, long beaks and bodies like feathered balls hopping through the peat bogs.
These are endangered dunlins – at risk in England because their favoured soggy landscapes are drained and burned for farming and grouse shooting. Continue reading...
