Menin questions NCMEC reports and takedown requests
Menin asks how many complaints or takedown requests SpaceX has received about Grok-generated sexualized images; Castillo-Madrid says over 100,000 reports went to NCMEC and that SpaceX sued three users facing criminal charges, while Menin says the ease of finding the image shows the technology allows it.
And if you had to report, you mentioned 100,000 instances.
Doesn't that mean then by that very definition that the technology allows it?
Our reports are meant to catch bad actors.
Unfortunately, there's always going to be bad actors and folks trying to get around safeguards.
And our work is to catch them and get them to the right authorities.
How many reports, complaints, takedown requests, or demands from depicted individuals has the company received concerning grok-generated sexualized images?
You mentioned the 100,000.
Does that encompass all of the complaints that people have filed on this issue?
That over 100,000 reports are specifically sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
In the case that you're explaining, the reports were caught and actions were taken.
We even took three federal lawsuits against the users that were already facing criminal charges for their abuse of Grok in creating illegal content.
