Creating fake, sexual images of women and children is a cruel and unacceptable form of abuse. We will not accept that.
Today, the European Commission has launched new investigation against X under the DSA. We have taken investigative steps and suspect that X has not properly assessed and mitigated risk on Grok´s functionalities. This includes the risk of spreading illegal content in the EU, like fake sexual images and child abuse material.
We have also extended our on-going investigation on X, to evaluate whether X diligently assessed and mitigated all systemic risks associated with its recommender systems.

@HennaVirkkunen leave X immediately
@HennaVirkkunen this will only be meaningful if every politician, political party, and Governmental Department move off Twitter/X to a European owned and hosted solution. The tacit support of using the platform for official channels has to stop.
@HennaVirkkunen I am of the opinion that X has no place in the EU, and that its use should be to the least strongly discouraged.
@HennaVirkkunen I strongly welcome this decision. As I find this issue very pressing, i would like to know:
1. When will you make a decision about interim measures? I find it unacceptable to have this kind a crime committed and could imagine a temporary ban of the delinquent service beeing a great measure to mitigate harm done to the eu and its citizens.
2. when will there be a decision about non-compliance ? The investigation has been going on for over 2 years now and fines do not seem to help.
Just for understanding, a revenge AI fake video from the annoying (male) neighbor that shows him naked (foreign body with the neighbor's head) during sex is still allowed if no women or children occur - or not?
Nur zum Verständnis, ein Rache-KI-Fakevideo von dem nervigen (männlichen) Nachbarn, dass ihn nakt (fremder Körper mit Kopf des Nachbarn) beim Sex zeigt ist weiterhin erlaubt, wenn keine Frauen oder Kinder vorkommen - oder nicht?
@HennaVirkkunen Hienoa, että saan lukea tästä mastodonissa. 💪💪💪💪💪 Hesarin 27.1.26 kautta sama suomeksi: "Väärennettyjen, seksuaalisten kuvien luominen naisista ja lapsista on julma ja sopimaton hyväksikäytön muoto."
@HennaVirkkunen by using X all EU politicians and institutions are supporting that platform.
Please can you lead an initiative to get the EU (across all institutions) to stop using X.
This will send a strong signal that we have digital standards and values that we stand for.
@HennaVirkkunen Good - I urge you to leave X as well, and inspire your fellow politicians to do so. A social network is only as powerful as its users make it be.
@HennaVirkkunen Remember degrading all women is not just sexual perversion, it is that, but it is also part of toxic fascism. Women's rights are the canary in the coal mine.
@HennaVirkkunen Next up: leave X with all the EU official accounts.
You are in power to make the migration away of X happen. Lets start the network effect.
@HennaVirkkunen Good move! And thank you for being here on Mastodon and not on that other platform. More MEPs should follow your example. We need to stop relying on US corporation controlled social media.
@HennaVirkkunen meanwhile, trump encourages ai investment for some unknown (cough cough) reason
sounds good; let me know if you actually do anything that will actually matter
the last few "gigantic" fines have been large but not large enough to make Musk or Zuck care, so you are pretty much paper tigers, you growl is loud, but you are toothless
The EU as a whole *must* stop using X as a social media platform!
Why aren’t you all on fediverse platforms? Mastodon and/ or many others?
@HennaVirkkunen The cild porn and sexualized images of women are not bugs but features.
This is about cruelty. It is about taking agency away from women. It's a power move of a man who feels untouchable, a middle finger to the law and to human decency.
The only way to stop this is to hit them where it hurts, their wealth and status.
We need travel bans on key MAGA players, massive economic and political sanctions against the US and the companies supporting MAGA's terror regime, and a clear European stance on the lawlessness of US actors.
We need to show them that what they're doing is unacceptable and that we are willing to sanction their shenanigans and to retaliate for offensive acts against the EU.
Correction: Creating fake, sexual images of *any animals, dead or alive, including human beings*, ...
But do go on!
@HennaVirkkunen Finally! Thank you!
@HennaVirkkunen
Bizim ufak elestirlerimiz engel alırken , bunlara ne için sessiz kalıyor? Kime hizmet ediyor sorgulanması gerekli 👏👏👏
@HennaVirkkunen Good news - I hope 🇨🇦 follows.
@HennaVirkkunen Prosecute please. I’m sure the laws exist. Prison rather than fines. And block the site until the investigation proved they complied. I’m a dreamer.
@HennaVirkkunen Press question: Is the probe limited to Grok, or does it include the whole X platform, which published millions of sexualised photos without consent?

Ban usa social media, in particular X is a Nazification disruption and propaganda tool.
Petty fines will not interest Fascist Musk
@HennaVirkkunen they should just BAN it in europe...
It can be used to generate cp...that should be enough...
@HennaVirkkunen Alt text/image description: A white woman with short brownish-blonde hair wearing glasses, earrings, a double-breasted navy blue blazer with gold-tone buttons, and a white V- neck blouse. She stands at a white lectern with a microphone, holding a card with a logo and designs on it. In the background is an EU flag of gold stars on a blue field. The room's wall is a blue that is close to the color of the flag. #AltText4You #Accessibility
@HennaVirkkunen Very credible person. Congrats.
But creating fake, sexual images of men and elderly is an acceptable from of abuse then?
@HennaVirkkunen it’s absurd that any company still exists/advertises on twitter
@HennaVirkkunen And yet you are accepting it.
Everyone involved in senior positions in the EU really need to delete your Twitter accounts immediately if you want to be taken seriously when you claim such things are unacceptable.
What I don't understand: why does the Europan Commission still have an Account on X? You are supporting a criminal who Funds and Supports AI generated child abuse.
The EC should delete all it's posts and leave a note how to find it's fediverse Account.

@HennaVirkkunen Yeah and as always, nothing will happen because you're afraid of the USA.
Teilübersetzung:
"Heute hat die Europäische Kommission im Rahmen der DSA eine neue Untersuchung gegen X eingeleitet. Wir haben Ermittlungsmaßnahmen ergriffen und vermuten, dass X das Risiko auf Groks Funktionalitäten nicht richtig bewertet und gemildert hat. Dazu gehört das Risiko, illegale Inhalte in der EU zu verbreiten, wie gefälschte sexuelle Bilder und Kindesmissbrauchsmaterial."
Bitte weitermachen!
@HennaVirkkunen please, please do everything in your power to stop x in Europe. Fake, sexual images of children are one thing. Freedom from bad influence is another. We need clarity, freedom and we have a right to the truth. I know that when we stop x, they will try to find something else, but for now, let's just try to find peace and truth and rid ourselves of this medium.
@HennaVirkkunen Please, go and ban this Sh**hole Place in the Internet called X. We have to fight for out values as Europeans, and the time for wearing velvet gloves dealing with US Tech-companies is over! #ban_x_in_eu
Kick the pedo Nazi out of Europe.
@HennaVirkkunen Great. Good Job. But why so late? This is honest question. Why it took a MONTH.
