  This is exactly what we asked for.  Now we need a thorough and decisive investigation.  Platforms operating in the EU have clear obligations under the Digital Services Act.  Protecting users — especially children — is not optional.  There is no place in Europe for technologies th…

  BREAKING: The European Commission has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok over the production of explicit imagery. Another act of censorship from the EU in the name of “safety”. Grok did not harm anyone. It generated content users chose to see. [video]

  Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that. [image]

  It does not do this. That is verifiable and easily established fact. So this should be a quick investigation.

• @mariawalsheu @mariawalsheu on x

  The European Commission should immediately suspend the use of Grok within the EU while it conducts a formal investigation into the platform. https://mariawalsh.eu/...

  A busy Monday in Brussels as the European Commission launches a formal investigation into X over serious concerns linked to Grok AI. I raised these concerns directly with the Commission in early January, as soon as the reports emerged. Glad to see action now being taken. [video]

• @frenchresponse @frenchresponse on x

  “The drug dealer didn't harm anyone. It provided substances users chose to use”. The DSA is no censorship regulation. When “content” required by users is child sexual abuse material, that's illegal. Platforms failing at preventing this are investigated. Period.

  Panicked EU bureaucrats continue to attack X.

  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.

  I've been VERY vocal about this and I'm glad the EU is investigating Grok / X.  —  It was creating and sharing non consensual images of women and children!!!  And, it must stop.  —  www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/b...
