Good luck explaining you need excemption because of Elon, you couldn't do anything about it. The law especially at this point is rigid for a reason. I don't know of any excemption for anybody. Not young people, not mums, not teachers that wanted to help in disputes between pupils. This leads directly to court if it gets known - that's what the law says.
This basically means, you can not use X without knowing you are 1 step away of breaking local laws and end up in court for browsing X.
Theoretically the prosecuters could now ask for the IP-adresses of the people that accessed the images in the EU and so forth.
Shocking that the images are still up on X.
