Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.
Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA. We have taken investigative steps and suspect that X has not properly assessed and mitigated risk on Grok´s functionalities. This includes the risk of spreading illegal content in the EU, like fake sexual images and child abuse material.

@HennaVirkkunen Press question: Is the probe limited to Grok, or does it include the whole X platform, which generated and published millions of sexualised photos without consent?
@HennaVirkkunen Alt text/image description: A white woman with short brownish-blonde hair wearing glasses, earrings, a double-breasted navy blue blazer with gold-tone buttons, and a white V- neck blouse. She stands at a white lectern with a microphone, holding a card with a logo and designs on it. In the background is an EU flag of gold stars on a blue field. The room's wall is a blue that is close to the color of the flag. #AltText4You #Accessibility
@HennaVirkkunen Please, go and ban this Sh**hole Place in the Internet called X. We have to fight for out values as Europeans, and the time for wearing velvet gloves dealing with US Tech-companies is over! #ban_x_in_eu
I don't agree with X's hive, but please do not advocate for banning something based on "values". That is censorship.
Ban it based on laws, if applicable.
It would be great if EU maintained Rule of Law, unlike our friends across the pond.
@jarekrozanski @HennaVirkkunen X has become an hate echo chamber for right-wings and similar scum. If they don't maintain their content (according DSA) - what Musky is claiming censorship - than they have to get banned in the EU. I would like to see a print media on the EU marked, delivering the same abusive content on a daily basis than X?
If they break the law. Ban.
If they are right-wing echo-chamber, sadly that's not enough. Banning them on this basis would be censorship.
@jarekrozanski @DG1JAN @HennaVirkkunen But they are breaking laws, for example allowing CSAM.
@rolle @DG1JAN @HennaVirkkunen
In this case, absolutely. I simply do not support the language "ban because values".
We have also extended our on-going investigation on X, to evaluate whether X diligently assessed and mitigated all systemic risks associated with its recommender systems.
