Overview
- Regulators will assess if X failed to evaluate and mitigate systemic risks tied to non‑consensual sexualized images, including material that may constitute child sexual abuse.
- The Commission also broadened its 2023 case on X’s recommendation systems to cover the platform’s planned shift to Grok‑based algorithms.
- Independent reports cited vast volumes of harmful content, including an estimate from the Center for Countering Digital Hate of roughly three million sexualized images in 11 days.
- X pointed to a prior statement asserting zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation and said Grok now restricts depictions of revealing clothing where illegal, measures the EU deems insufficient.
- There is no set timeline for the case, X was fined €120 million in December for separate DSA breaches, and national authorities in countries such as France and the UK have initiated parallel actions.
