Apple\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/store.apple.com\/Catalog\/Images\/salespolicies.html\">terms<\/a> allow wide flexibility to take action on apps or content that are \u201coffensive\u201d or \u201cjust plain creepy,\u201d something they argued should clearly cover what is happening on X.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere can be no mistake about X\u2019s knowledge, and, at best, negligent response to these trends,\u201d the lawmakers wrote. <\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers explicitly compared the lack of action or comments from both companies thus far to the way the stores <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2025\/12\/08\/nx-s1-5631826\/iceblock-app-lawsuit-trump-bondi\">treated apps<\/a> meant to track Immigrations and Customs Enforcement operations around the country, such as ICEBlock and Red Dot. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike Grok\u2019s sickening content generation, these apps were not creating or hosting harmful or illegal content, and yet, based entirely on the Administration\u2019s claims that they posed a risk to immigration enforcers, you removed them from your stores,\u201d the Senators noted.<\/p>\n<p>The call comes as international regulators have turned up the heat on X over the scandal, while conflicting reports swirl about the extent to which X has limited Grok\u2019s deepfake functionality after weeks of criticism.<\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s Office of Communications, the nation\u2019s top communications regulatory agency, said it had made \u201curgent\u201d contact with X over the images being generated by users through Grok, and that based on their response, \u201cwe will undertake a swift assessment to determine whether there are potential compliance issues\u201d under the UK Online Safety Act. Friday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the images \u201cunlawful\u201d and \u201cdisgusting\u201d and promised that all options, including a potential ban of X, were being considered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, the European Union has <a href=\"http:\/\/google.com\/search?q=reuters+x+grok&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS1092US1092&oq=&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBggAEEUYOzIGCAAQRRg7MhMIARAuGIMBGMcBGLEDGNEDGIAEMgYIAhBFGDkyEAgDEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQYigUyBggEEEUYPDIGCAUQRRg8MgYIBhBFGDwyBggHEEUYPNIBCDE0MjhqMGo0qAIAsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8\">ordered<\/a> X to preserve all documents related to Grok through 2026, an indication that it could be subject to regulatory or law enforcement investigations, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>As CyberScoop and others have <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/elon-musk-x-grok-deepfake-crisis-section-230\/\">reported<\/a>, legal experts have said that Musk may be exposing X to broad legal and regulatory risks from states, federal regulators and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>There have been conflicting reports that X, which has not responded to inquiries from journalists under Musk\u2019s ownership, may be taking steps to limit Grok\u2019s deepfake functionality for some of its users.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Musk posted on X that he was limiting the feature to paid users, which has resulted in a fresh round of outrage from observers who pointed out that monetizing illegal sexual deepfakes was not a solution to the problem. Prior to that statement, the only public response from Musk addressing the scandal was a post he made with \u201ccry-laughing\u201d emojis in response to a Grok-generated deepfake of himself wearing a bikini.<\/p>\n<p>Musk doesn\u2019t release numbers around paid subscribers, but a TechCrunch<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/10\/15\/elon-musks-x-still-struggles-to-grow-subscription-revenue\/\"> analysis<\/a> indicates that it could be as high as 1.3-3.7 million users based on revenues reported from in-app purchases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But even the claim that non-paying users are shut out from making further sexualized deepfakes through Grok may be inaccurate, as users on social media reported that even after the change, they were able to access Grok\u2019s deepfake feature as a free user through X or Grok\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.645101663586\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"13\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/dems-pressure-google-apple-to-drop-x-app-as-international-regulators-turn-up-heat-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Derek B.
