But that doesn’t leave many options for the victims. Maddie, who said she’s a 23-year-old pre-med student, woke up on New Year’s Day to an image that horrified her. On X, she had previously published a picture of herself with her boyfriend at a local bar, which two strangers altered using Grok.

I've thought a lot of things would kill twitter...

    It all starts with a little bill call the Telecommunications act of 1996...

    And yeah, loads of people said it would lead to this shit.
