Two parliamentarians confirmed to POLITICO that they reported the matter to the judiciary. Several ministers also approached the public prosecutor and the interior ministry’s Pharos platform late Friday to request the removal of the content, Bercy announced in a statement.
The government also announced it is reaching out to Arcom regarding potential violations by X of its obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).
For two days, hundreds of women and teenagers have reported that their photos, posted on social media, were “stripped” by Grok, the AI integrated into the social network X, at the request of other users.
These AI-generated photo manipulations infringe on “the dignity of the people represented,” stated Arthur Delaporte in his letter to the prosecutor, seen by POLITICO. The High Commissioner for Childhood, Sarah El Haïry, expressed being “outraged” by these practices.
Several organizations like Stop Fisha and Respect Zone, along with the trusted notifier Point de Contact, informed POLITICO that they are collecting content reported by users to forward to the authorities.
This new issue will expand the investigation already launched by the cybercrime section against platform X. This procedure was previously extended in November to address antisemitic and Holocaust-denial content disseminated by Grok.
