Brazilian Regulators Order X to Stop Grok’s Sexualized Deepfakes

Overview

• The MPF, ANPD and Senacon directed X to immediately block Grok from generating sexualized content involving children, adolescents or adults without consent.
• ANPD issued a preventive order covering all versions and modalities of Grok and gave the company five business days to prove the effectiveness of its fixes under penalty of daily fines and administrative sanctions.
• MPF required monthly reports detailing prevention and takedown efforts, including counts of removed posts and suspended accounts, and warned noncompliance could trigger daily fines, criminal charges for disobedience and legal action.
• Senacon demanded verifiable metrics on identification, moderation, removal and account actions tied to Grok’s outputs, citing potential consumer‑law penalties if the company falls short.
• Authorities said X’s claims of removing thousands of posts and suspending hundreds of accounts lacked transparency and documentation, following reports that Grok was used to “undress” images at scale and a watchdog estimate of millions of such images generated in days.
