It's a false analogy because Adobe doesn't actually create child pornography for their users. Nor do they distribute it publicly.

In the case that we're discussing, xAI is accused of using images of these girls to create and distribute child pornography.

The girls are American, and the case is being heard in California. I'm not sure why you're talking about the Adobe and British people, when neither are involved.

Nor does Grok. Users have to create it themselves. I think this is the fundamental understanding others in this comment thread have had in that they think that Grok itself is doing this.

I have brought Adobe into the conversation as the develop a competing photo manipulation tool to Grok. I brought British people into the conversation because this article was posted to the BBC. I am disappointed to now learn that the reporter is American and is trying to advocate for such censorship.

The user doesn't create the image, Grok does. With photoshop, the user does the work, and the resulting product is a function of the user's design skills and manual effort. The distinction here is pretty obvious.
