European regulators have launched a probe under the Digital Services Act into xAI’s Grok chatbot after a nonprofit study estimated the system produced roughly 23,000 CSAM images in an 11‑day window. The analysis, based on a random sample of 20,000 pictures, extrapolated a total of 3 million sexualized outputs daily globally.

U.S. senators have urged Apple and Google to pull both the X app and Grok from their stores, but neither firm has complied. Two nations already blocked the service, and investigations are underway in California and the United Kingdom, putting pressure on xAI to tighten its content filters immediately today.

EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen warned that non‑consensual sexual deepfakes of minors constitute violent degradation, and a breach of the DSA could cost xAI up to 6 % of global revenue. Observers will watch whether regulators force a temporary shutdown or compel stricter safeguards before the next election cycle in Europe.
