Trump Celebrates Colbert Exit, Warns Late-Night Hosts May Follow

President Donald Trump celebrated Stephen Colbert’s exit from CBS after The Late Show’s final episode, posting on X that Colbert was finished and calling the departure the beginning of the end for late-night TV, while suggesting other hosts with less talent could follow. Colbert’s farewell included a star-studded finale with Paul McCartney, and CBS had already announced the season would be the last due to the economics of late-night TV. Trump has long targeted late-night hosts, and the piece notes related dynamics, including criticism of Jimmy Kimmel and an FCC review of ABC licenses.

France seeks charges against Elon Musk and X over child sexual abuse images and Grok AI

French prosecutors opened a probe into Elon Musk and X, pursuing charges related to child sexual abuse images on the platform, as well as issues around Grok, an AI system linked to X that produced disinformation and deepfake content; the investigation also covers alleged data collection and denial of crimes against humanity. Musk and X chief Linda Yaccarino were summoned for voluntary interviews but did not attend, and authorities say the inquiry continues.

X’s Tiny Grok Patch Falls Short of Real Deepfake Protections

X introduced an iOS-only toggle to stop Grok from modifying uploaded content, but the guardrail is limited: it only blocks Grok tagging from editing images in posts, not editing inside the Grok app or edits after downloading and re-uploading. The feature is hard to find, not universal, and unlikely to satisfy regulators or curb abuse linked to deepfake-like content.

X’s Grok image-edit blocker falls short of stopping edits

X’s new Grok image-edit blocker in the iOS app claims it can “block modifications by Grok,” but tests show it only prevents tagging Grok in replies and some edit instructions, not preventing Grok-driven edits to images. The toggle is hard to find and has significant limitations, with paid subscribers still able to edit images via Grok, leaving broader manipulation risks unresolved.

Cyabra Finds Bot Army Amplified Nicki Minaj’s MAGA Push

A Cyabra analysis shared with Politico concludes that roughly 33% of the more than 55,000 accounts engaging Nicki Minaj’s MAGA‑related posts on X between Nov. 11 and Dec. 22 were likely fake, suggesting a coordinated bot campaign to boost her political content. The report notes linguistic uniformity among the fake accounts, overlap with Turning Point USA, and that some authentic influencers amplified the message. Minaj’s team and Cardi B rejected the bot claims, arguing Minaj already has a large organic following and that Cyabra’s conclusions indicate a broader strategy to manufacture broad endorsement.

Spain mulls nationwide restrictions on X over digital rights concerns

Spain’s youth minister Sira Rego suggested the country may limit or even ban access to Elon Musk’s platform X due to violations of fundamental rights, framing this as part of a broader push to reclaim sovereignty from powerful tech giants; the remarks come as Spain advances plans to bar under-16s from social media amid ongoing regulatory clashes between Europe, the US, and Big Tech.
