"The European Commission, the bloc's governing body, said on Monday that it had opened a formal investigation into X over the spread of illegal images, including possible child sexual abuse material, generated by Grok on the platform. The Commission said it would also extend an ongoing investigation into X's recommendation algorithm, with the regulator previously fining the social media platform $140 million over its "deceptive" blue checkmarks."
"It comes after X said it had implemented "technological measures" to prevent users from editing images of real people into revealing clothing, after a wave of global backlash over the circulation of AI-generated sexual images on the site. X made the change after California's attorney general and the UK media regulator both launched investigations into Grok - although Business Insider's Henry Chandonnet found that the AI chatbot could still be used to make sexualized images in the days after."
