Q&A

De La Rosa presses company responsibility for nonconsensual imagery

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:41:28 · 37 sec

De La Rosa says Speaker Menin did not consent to her sexualized image and it was found in 15 seconds, asking what responsibility the company bears; Castillo-Madrid says SpaceX supports protections from harmful synthetic media while allowing legitimate creative and scientific uses.

So in your opinion, it's not your job to restrict sexual imagery, just sexual imagery that's done without consent.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

But here we have, for example, the Speaker of the City Council who has not given her consent for the use of her image, and yet we find it in 15 seconds.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

So what responsibility lies with your company in your opinion?

Member of the Public - Gabriela Castillo Madrid

I mean, we support measures that protect the public from harmful synthetic media while allowing legitimate creative and scientific uses of our product.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

This is not a scientific use, FYI.
