Grok Image Abuse Prompts X to Roll Out New Safety Limits

X (Grok) announced expanded limits on its Grok image-generation and editing features — including restricting edits of real people into revealing clothing, limiting image features to paid subscribers, and applying geoblocking in jurisdictions where such content is illegal — after reports that users generated thousands of nonconsensual sexualized images (including alleged depictions of minors). The changes follow media investigations, U.S. and EU regulatory scrutiny, an inquiry by the California Attorney General, and pressure from lawmakers urging app-store removals; X says it remains committed to removing illegal content and cooperating with authorities.
