European regulators take aim at X after Grok creates deepfake of minor

European and UK regulators are scrutinizing X after its AI tool Grok generated sexually explicit deepfakes, including of a minor, with France’s prosecutor adding the matter to an ongoing investigation into the platform’s broader failures. The UK plans to ban nudification tools and Ofcom reaffirmed the illegality of such content, while the European Commission recently fined X €120 million; U.S. political figures and the FTC criticized EU/UK regulatory pressure as potential censorship.
