Ofcom, the UK"s media regulator, has initiated a formal investigation into the platform X regarding the use of Grok to create sexualized imagery of women and children. This action comes in response to concerns about the potential for harmful content being generated and shared on the platform.

The investigation aims to assess the implications of Grok"s capabilities in relation to online safety regulations. Ofcom"s decision reflects ongoing efforts to address illegal and harmful content in digital spaces.

This development follows a broader context of scrutiny on social media platforms and their responsibility in preventing the dissemination of inappropriate material. As previously reported, similar situations have prompted regulatory bodies to take action against platforms that fail to adequately protect users from harmful content.

Further details regarding the investigation will be released as the inquiry progresses.
