Hotline.ie, designated to handle reports of non-consensual image abuse, reported no recent submissions or complaints specifically about X's AI engine, Grok. Grok has been synthetically undressing photos of women and minors. Grok reached the top of app download charts in Ireland while Apple retained a '13+' age rating for the service.
