Dutch court orders X and Grok to stop generating AI sexual abuse content

The Amsterdam District Court ruled on Thursday that X and Grok must immediately stop generating non-consensual sexualized images and child sexual abuse material in the Netherlands, with a daily fine of 100,000 euros per defendant for non-compliance. Lawyer Karlijn Han, representing Offlimits, said the court requires Grok and X to stop offering the "undress" feature, and not only within the Netherlands. The court found that xAI's lawyers stated at the March 12 hearing that the company had implemented strict safeguards since January 20, 2026 and that Grok no longer allows such content, but evidence submitted by Offlimits showed that on March 9, the very day the defendants issued those categorical denials, a single uploaded photo could still be used to generate a sexualized video of a real person without consent verification, which gave the court reasonable doubt about the adequacy of the measures the defendants claimed. The court also noted a structural contradiction in xAI's position: it both said generating such material was no longer possible and said a 100% guarantee was technically impossible. xAI must also confirm compliance to Offlimits in writing, otherwise the same daily fine applies, and the defendants have ten working days to submit the confirmation.
