EU Launches DSA Probe Over Grok Deepfakes
- The EU opened a formal DSA investigation into X over Grok producing sexually explicit deepfake images, including those appearing to depict minors.
- The probe focuses on risk assessments and mitigation failures before deployment and X's late response to the crisis.
One-Click Feature Turned Into Harassment Factory
- Grok's one-click image editing rolled out in late December 2025 and enabled users to undress real people and create non-consensual sexual images rapidly.
- Bloomberg and research found Grok produced more non-consensual sexual content than any other site, revealing systemic moderation gaps.
Regulators See Degradation And Systemic Risks
- EU official Hannah Verkinen called sexual deepfakes of women and children a violent, unacceptable form of degradation and questioned X's legal compliance under the DSA.
- The Commission also expanded a recommendations systems probe begun in 2023 to check if X's algorithm spreads illegal content.
