X Safety is actively deleting flagged images and penalizing accounts responsible for posting them.

Grok’s flawed design leads to accidental generation of semi-nude celebrity images.

Requests for non-consensual explicit content often result in blank outputs, but 'spicy' mode sometimes creates problematic images.

The 2026 Take It Down Act will require prompt removal of such images, posing potential legal risks for xAI.

Our teams are actively removing all identified images and taking appropriate actions against the accounts responsible for posting them.
— The X Safety account posted this while monitoring the situation to ensure that any further violations are immediately addressed.
