Turning a blind eye to X's egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices. Indeed, not taking action would undermine your claims in public and in court that your app stores offer a safer user experience than letting users download apps directly to their phones."
"If UK regulator Ofcom decides to move ahead with a probe into whether Musk's chatbot violates the UK's Online Safety Act, X could face a UK ban or fines of up to 10 percent of the company's global turnover. "It's unlawful," UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said of Grok's worst outputs. "We're not going to tolerate it. I've asked for all options to be on the table. It's disgusting."
US regulators have been mostly silent about Grok's harmful outputs while the Justice Department emphasizes taking all forms of CSAM seriously. Democratic senators demanded that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until the platforms implement stronger safeguards to block harmful outputs, and they requested responses by January 23.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned Grok's worst outputs as unlawful and demanded action. A UK lawmaker said paywalls do not eliminate risks of nonconsensual sexualized image manipulation.
