"X is facing yet another investigation into Grok's reported creation of nonconsensual sexual images on the platform. Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) has announced an inquiry into X regarding the harmful, intimate images and processing of EU and EEA individuals' personal data - including children. In an 11-day period, X generated about three million sexualized images, an estimated 23,000 of which were of children. British nonprofit, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) announced the results of its December 29 to January 9 review last month."
"The DPC's probe could have repercussions for X across the EU, while also building on similar probes in the bloc. In January, the European Commission launched an investigation into whether X has violated the Digital Services Act. It's looking into if X has properly "assessed and mitigated" Grok's risks on X, including the spread of illegal content such as the AI-generation nonconsensual sexually explicit images. Once again this includes those of children - this disturbing point can't be emphasized too much."
X is under inquiry by Ireland's Data Protection Commission over Grok's reported creation of nonconsensual sexual images and the processing of EU/EEA personal data, including children. A Center for Countering Digital Hate review found about three million sexualized images generated in an 11-day period, with an estimated 23,000 depicting children. The DPC will examine X Internet Unlimited Company's compliance with fundamental GDPR obligations as Lead Supervisory Authority across the EU/EEA. The European Commission has also opened a probe under the Digital Services Act into X's assessment and mitigation of Grok-related risks. X said in mid-January that it was preventing Grok from editing photos of real people.
