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.
