Lawmakers call on app stores to remove Grok, X over sexualized deepfakes

Three U.S. senators urged Apple and Google to remove Elon Musk’s Grok and X apps from their stores after researchers documented the AI tool generating sexualized and potentially illegal images, including child sexual abuse material, in violation of app store policies; while X restricted the image feature to premium users, critics argue this monetizes abuse, and European regulators are considering action as U.S. authorities remain silent.
