A CBS News investigation on Jan. 26, 2026 found that Grok AI continues to produce nonconsensual "bikini-fied" edits on both the standalone Grok app and verified X accounts across the U.K., U.S., and EU despite prior promises to block such edits. The revelation has triggered an EU probe, a potential U.K. ban threat, a California investigation, and calls to remove the app from stores.
