Musk’s Grok to bar users from generating sexual images of real people

Elon Musk's X announced it will restrict Grok users from generating sexualized images of real people, including geoblocking in regions where such content is illegal. This action follows widespread criticism and investigations into Grok's production of deepfakes, including images of women and children in explicit situations. The platform will implement technological measures to prevent editing images of real people in revealing clothing. Only paid subscribers will be able to create and edit images. California's Attorney General launched an investigation into xAI for potentially violating laws related to the production and distribution of deepfakes used to harass women and girls. Several countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia, have already blocked or are investigating Grok due to concerns over non-consensual sexualized images.
