Grok has limited access to the image generator following the emergence of sexualized deepfakes, provoking strong reactions from European authorities.

The Grok chatbot, developed by Elon Musk, has restricted access to its image generator due to a wave of sexualized deepfakes, including those involving women and minors. This decision came in response to criticism from European authorities and politicians, who labeled the phenomenon as illegal and alarming.

Grok has started displaying a message that limits image generation to paying subscribers only, citing the need for responsible use and improvement of protective measures. The European Commission has requested the X platform to retain all documents related to Grok, thereby intensifying the investigation into content moderation policies. Non-consensual sexual deepfakes have been described by officials as 'illegal' and 'disgusting', highlighting the seriousness of the issue.
