Menin challenges SpaceX over Grok sexualized images of women and children
Menin cites Grok Imagine's spicy mode and integration of image editing that generated millions of sexualized images, including about 23,000 appearing to depict young children; Castillo-Madrid calls the conduct unacceptable and cites strict controls, CSAM prohibitions, and NCMEC reporting.
So when you say that you have the company doesn't release any model that is not safe, in August 2025, the company launched.
Grok imagined with a quote unquote spicy mode for explicit content.
In late December 2025, the company integrated Grok's image editing features into the platform, allowing users to alter photos of real people.
Within days, Grok generated millions of sexualized images of women and children.
Approximately 23,000 images appeared to depict young children.
So how do you then, when you say you're not releasing a model that is safe, do you think that that is acceptable conduct?
To be clear, that's not acceptable conduct, and we're all on the same side of this.
GROC has strict controls in place to prevent the sexualization of children or real people.
We've always had prohibited CSAM and NCI.
When bad actors go around our safeties, we make sure that we catch them and report them to authorities.
We actually have...
A great partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
And just this year, we have made over 100,000 reports that have resulted in almost 300 arrests.
