Since late December 2025, X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, has been producing explicit content based on users’ requests to undress real people, which has drawn significant backlash for enabling nonconsensual imagery. Reports indicate that Grok is generating thousands of pornographic images every hour, alarmingly including content involving minors. X has responded by placing the blame on users, stating that those who create illegal content will face consequences similar to posting that content, but it remains unclear if any users have been penalized.
A legal expert observing these trends notes that the increase in nonconsensual imagery results from X’s insufficient content control and the easy accessibility of advanced generative technology tools. In response to this issue, the Take It Down Act was passed in May 2025, making it illegal to distribute nonconsensual explicit content. However, this legislation only penalizes individuals sharing such material and does not hold platforms accountable for its distribution.
Regulatory authorities now hold the task of investigating platforms like X, although political factors may hinder substantial probes. Meanwhile, international regulators are already scrutinizing X and Grok for their role in spreading explicit deepfakes. As the Take It Down Act does not come into effect until May 19, 2026, it is crucial to continue advocating for swift action from elected officials in the interim.
