US EditionRep. Brad Sherman Denies Viewing Explicit Content on Flight, Says Images Came From X Algorithm
Rep. Sherman said X’s algorithm showed over 1,000 posts including suggestive images during a cross-country flight, denying he viewed pornography on his iPad.
- Friday, Representative Brad Sherman was photographed aboard a commercial cross-country flight appearing to view sexually suggestive images, but he denied viewing pornography and blamed X's 'For You' page.
- X's algorithmic system recommends content through the 'For You' tab, which Grok powers based on accounts a user follows and interests, and observers note it can feed racy material.
- The circulated images show a handful of women in varying undress with no nudity, and the post by “Dear White Staffers” drew more than 13.7 million views in 24 hours.
- The photos provoked social-media backlash and media inquiries, and Representative Brad Sherman admitted looking at pictures of women not his wife, acknowledging the impropriety of the behavior.
- Pressure to declassify records has grown in recent months, with Representative Marc Veasey introducing the Epstein Files Transparency Act and Republican lawmakers calling for release.
