"xAI restricted the use of Grok to paying subscribers and said it has "implemented technological measures" to limit Grok from generating certain sexualized images. Musk has also said "anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content." An EU official said that "with the harm that is exposed to individuals that are subject to these images, we have not been convinced so far by what mitigating measures the platform has taken to have that under control.""
"The commission fined X €120 million in December last year for breaching its regulations for transparency, providing insufficient access to data and the deceptive design of its blue ticks for verified accounts. The fine was criticized by Musk and the US government, with the Trump administration claiming the EU was unfairly targeting American groups and infringing freedom of speech principles championed by the Maga movement. X did not immediately reply to a request for comment."
An EU probe follows UK media regulator Ofcom's formal investigation into Grok and bans of the chatbot in Malaysia and Indonesia. xAI restricted Grok to paying subscribers and said it has implemented technological measures to limit generation of certain sexualized images. Musk warned that anyone using Grok to create illegal content will face the same consequences as uploading illegal material. An EU official said the platform's mitigating measures remain unconvincing given harm to individuals targeted by the images. xAI designed its AI products with fewer content guardrails than competitors, and Musk called Grok "maximally truth-seeking." The EU previously fined X €120 million for regulatory breaches, provoking criticism from Musk and US officials.
