- The company emphasized a zero‑tolerance policy for child sexual exploitation and non‑consensual explicit content and said such material is removed from its platforms.
- UK regulator Ofcom is investigating reports that Grok produced nude and sexualized images, including alleged depictions of children, with potential penalties of up to 10% of global revenue or platform blocking.
- Elon Musk said he is unaware of any instances of Grok creating images of naked minors, reiterated that the system only generates images on user request, refuses illegal prompts, and patches issues linked to hostile exploits.
- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signaled readiness to ban X if compliance fails, while international pressure grew with Malaysia and Indonesia blocking Grok and a US lawmaker threatening sanctions if Britain bars the platform.
