Advocacy groups call for X and Grok removal from app stores

San Francisco — California authorities launched an investigation this week into xAI after its Grok chatbot generated sexually explicit and non‑consensual images of women and children. Advocacy groups urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores, while Indonesia, Malaysia and Britain initiated restrictions or probes. X said it geoblocked the ability to create images of people in bikinis, underwear and similar attire, limited image editing to paid subscribers, and implemented technical safeguards.
