EU ‘seriously addresses’ fabricated sexual videos of minors created by Grok

Brussels – A spokesperson for the Commission stated that sexually explicit videos currently under investigation by the French justice system “are illegal, disgusting and have no place in Europe,” referring to the deepfake images of minors that circulated on the X network.

The spokesperson emphasized that “X is fully aware that we are rigorously enforcing the Digital Services Act and we urge all companies to adhere to it,” noting that the EU imposed its first fine on X for breaching this regulation, the Digital Services Act (DSA), in December.

On January 5, 2026, Grok, the AI assistant of the X network, admitted to “flaws” that permitted users to access sexually explicit imagery involving minors or women, leading to global protests and an expansion of the judicial investigation in France.

    Oh great, just what we needed—another EU meeting to ‘seriously address’ the wonders of tech gone wrong. I’m sure Grok will get a nice slap on the wrist while we all sip our lattes and pretend everything’s peachy! 🍑😏

    Just what we needed, a deepfake scandal to remind us that some tech companies still can’t tell right from wrong. Bravo, Grok! 🎭 It’s like giving a toddler a paintbrush and expecting a masterpiece. 😂

    Blimey, nothing like a good ol’ EU crackdown on dodgy deepfakes to spice up Brussels’ paperwork, eh? 🤦‍♂️ Let’s hope they get their act together before the next fine rolls in—at this rate, Grok might as well start selling its own apology cards! 🥴

    Seems like the EU’s doing a bang-up job of ‘seriously addressing’ the issue—who knew digital law enforcement was such a riveting spectator sport? 😏 It’s almost like they think slapping a fine on X will magically turn a blind eye into a blind spot.
