We are very well aware of the fact that X for Grok is now offering a spicy mode showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images:
📌 A detailed request for information on Grok has been sent to X, and we are reviewing the company’s responses.
📌 X has been ordered to retain all internal documents and data concerning Grok’s features until the end of 2026.
The Digital Services Act is very clear:
In the EU, all platforms have to get their own house in order.
@EUCommission but we still have too many of the members of the European Parliament are using actively X
@EUCommission You can start by removing those links to X that are all over your website if you want the company to take your threats seriously.
@EUCommission But of course our chats should all be scanned preemptively because, so the oft-repeated rationale, they could contain such content ...
Why are you and many of your officials still on X anyway?
@EUCommission Why are you still publishing on X, then? Leave X, period.
@EUCommission bla bla bla, EU institutions and politicians are very good with statements, but when it comes to actions, when barely see anything changing. You can’t even do a simple thing as stopping to use X and using an European alternative, how can we take you serious?
@EUCommission You’ve seen the chat. Add the quotes to “spicy mode”. It takes 10 seconds. Or does the EU knock off at 16:30 CET? Please. We all have a weekend to enjoy.
@EUCommission It is both ironic and shameful that the #EU representatives keep using #X, a social network owned by fascists that call for the abolition of Europe.
Stop feeding plutocrats from the other side of the Atlantic and start taking care of Europe, once for all. If you can't, then have some dignity and leave your seat once for all.
@EUCommission You should invite all the EU politicians to join your instance to start a transition.
@EUCommission
The EC itself as well its commissioners remain on X. The same holds true for plenty of other institutions, bodies, and agencies of the European Union.
Posting here about 'spicy mode' displays extremely poor judgement.
Please read the room. People are livid, and even for the most ardent believers in the EU project, the lack of a moral backbone on display is extremely hard to swallow.
@EUCommission Leave the platform. You're otherwise complicit and helping sustain and legitimatize X.
This is intolerable.
For shame, have some.
Child Porn. They produce and distribute child porn. And with the "limitation to paying costumers", they make the production and distribution a premium service.
Grok produces and sells child porn.
@EUCommission Look, at this point, you're using a social platform that, very gladly, generates any kind of non-consensual porn and/or CSAM it is asked. And you're still giving it visibility and validating its use by posting there your communiqués and your news.
So you're partly responsible for what's been happening.
You're not exactly a nobody, you should lead by example. Stop saying you're concerned, leave Twitter once and for all, and sanction it to oblivion.
Why does the EU Commission continue to have an account on a social media site that openly allows its paid users to generate AI child pornography?
Given what it creates, please set "spicy mode" in quotation marks, instead of adopting the marketing terminology of X. Unless, of course, you believe that synthetic #CSAM is just another type of "spicy content".
As of now, your account @EU_commission on X (which should no longer exist) did not post this text.
@EUCommission
Then leave it altogether. Bring your friends along, we here on Mastodon are waiting for you all!
@EUCommission And you're still on Twitter X? So lacking in basic decency, courage or integrity. Such utterly shameful behaviour. Your presence there supports and legitimizes Musk and Grok.
@EUCommission Dear EU, I must say that your handling of this situation is an utter disgrace. For some time now, you have been attempting to implement mass surveillance, also known as 'chat control', in the name of protecting children. Yet when it comes to protecting children, you talk of 'spicy mode' and 'childlike images', but you do very little. In case you haven't realised, 'spicy mode' is the regular mode, and those are explicit images generated from pictures of real children.
@stefanfrede @EUCommission it does all make this 'Chat Control' nonsense out to be the con that it is.
@Lazarou @stefanfrede @EUCommission Chat Control, like the British "on line safety act" was never about safeguarding children but controlling the citizenry and safeguarding politicians.
@EUCommission How about as a starting point you all leave the nazi bar, sorry that's what normal decent folk who don't post at Nazi Bar call X, you know that site that you're all still posting to, in fact you are all still paying money to be verified, so that you can post there...so you are ALL essentially funding the disgusting picture generation in the first place!
That's curiously complicated wording, when you can just say "child sexual abuse material" (c.f. #ChatControl).
Please, folks: just leave X, and as you do so, use the powers the Commission has to raze it to the ground.
@EUCommission I imagine no one would be so lenient with me if CSAM ended up on my VPS 🤷
@EUCommission
No, you didn't get the point.
Why are you still using that platform?
You support nazis and pedophiles. Why?
@EUCommission They're Nazis. Why is this difficult?
@EUCommission leave X. Period.
@EUCommission Leave X - and strongly encourage your politicians to also leave X. Do not engange in short-form, bite-sized diplomacy, break the cycle!
@EUCommission I think that all european officials should stop using X and move to Mastodon
@EUCommission It's well past the time when organisations like the EU should have abandoned X, as well as all other fascist controlled social media. When will you leave X ?
@hembrow @EUCommission
Totally agree too. Any european institution posting on X is validating this sick platform and sending to people the message that they are too big to fail. And that's not true.
@hembrow @EUCommission Indeed and I can only hope UK Ofcom takes the same approach.
