The European Union and the United Kingdom are not ready to let Elon Musk’s Grok off the hook for creating non-consensual nude deepfakes.

Social media platform X announced late Wednesday it would stop people from “editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis” following a proliferation of sexualized images created by the Grok artificial intelligence bot that is integrated into X.

These changes apply only to publicly available tweets targeted to the Grok chatbot and not when using the Grok assistant built into X, which is separate from the publicly available platform feed.

The move by X — which included a fresh promise of geoblocking — came in response to mounting pressure and at least two app bans in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as a formal probe in the U.K.

Yet POLITICO was able to verify that users in Brussels, Paris and London were still able to generate images of people in bikinis on Thursday morning using the integrated AI assistant Grok feature on X, suggesting the move may not meet regulator demands.

One day during his first term, Donald Trump summoned a top aide to discuss a new idea. “Trump called me down to the Oval Office,” John Bolton, national security adviser in 2018, told the Guardian. “He said a prominent businessman had just suggested the US buy Greenland.”

It was an extraordinary proposal. And it originated from a longtime friend of the president who would go on to acquire business interests in the Danish territory.

The businessman, Bolton learned, was Ronald Lauder. Heir to a makeup fortune – the global cosmetics brand Estée Lauder – he had known Trump, a fellow wealthy New Yorker, for more than 60 years.

Bolton said he discussed the Greenland proposition with Lauder. After the billionaire’s intervention, a White House team began to explore ways to increase US sway in the vast Arctic territory controlled by Denmark.

Trump’s renewed pursuit of Lauder’s idea during his second term is typical of how the president operates, Bolton said. “Bits of information that he hears from friends, he takes them as truth and you can’t shake his opinion.”

A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail, bringing the government one step closer to detaining and ultimately deporting the Palestinian activist.

Going ahead with the insurrection act means they're planning to have the army massacre us.
