"Apple contacted the teams behind both X and Grok after it received complaints and saw news coverage of the scandal, demanding a plan to improve content moderation."
"Grok was freely accessible on X and as a standalone app, with flimsy safeguards that allowed users to easily generate and share sexualized deepfakes."
"Apple warned the developer that additional changes to remedy the violation would be required, or the app could be removed from the App Store."
"Only after further back and forth did Apple determine Grok had substantially improved and approved its submission."
Apple intervened with Elon Musk's AI app Grok over its failure to manage nonconsensual sexual deepfakes on X. The company demanded improved content moderation plans from both X and Grok after receiving complaints. Despite violations of App Store guidelines, Grok remained available while Apple reviewed proposed changes. Apple concluded that X had resolved its issues, but Grok was still noncompliant. After further discussions, Grok was eventually approved for the App Store after demonstrating substantial improvements.
