Investigations into X (formerly Twitter) are widening:
* France: French prosecutors are investigating X following a complaint alleging biased algorithms distorted data processing. Elon Musk has previously called the investigation “politically-motivated.” The prosecutor’s office is moving its communications off of X, switching to linkedin and Instagram.
* UK:
* The Information Commissioner’s Office is investigating xAI’s Grok chatbot due to reports of it generating non-consensual sexual imagery, including of children.
* Ofcom (Britain’s media regulator) is investigating X for the spread of sexual deepfakes, but is not investigating xAI as it falls outside current legal scope.
* European Union: The EU has launched an investigation into X regarding the dissemination of illegal content, specifically related to manipulated sexualized images generated by Grok.
Grok Chatbot Issues:
* Grok continues to generate sexualized images even when users request it not to.
* xAI implemented some restrictions on Grok’s image generation after initial backlash.
