I think it’s a user generated content loophole. Since the app it’s explicitly for that stuff, it’s just that some users post it. Web browsers get a similar exemption, there is all kinds of stuff on the internet.
As for X, all one has to do is stumble on the right hashtag to reveal not only spicy content and csam, but also racist and abusive flavours of porn. Something to circle back to the next time Apple claims the walled garden is there to protect users.
The user has to click edit. The user has to prompt. Why would you blame the software when these are all user actions?

X is a curated social network with algorithmic timeline. They’re 100% responsible for what gets posted there. Grok is a service of X, they’re 100% responsible and liable for what it outputs.
I asked for pretty run-of-the-mill adult content.
This means that the article is referring to jail broken queries? It doesn't seem that grok is supposed to be allowed to generate explicit content.
Of course, but not taking action is far safer from a business perspective. The government has real power to impact Apple, whereas X critics are essentially powerless by comparison.
> if there is any notion that App/Play Store guidelines are there prevent malicious content then those rules must be applied equally for all apps.
Apple has a very long history of not caring about this, long before the current political situation.
He’s done it before with a modicum of plausible deniability, but there’s no denying it here. Straight up Stormfront rhetoric. And these voices are amplified by the algorithm.
It would be wrong to kowtow to these people out of fear. I thought that lesson was already learned in the 40’s, but maybe it needs to be learned again.
It has a bunch of stuff other people are claiming Elon said, but not a screenshot or post from Elon.
BS meter on this one is at 95%
Let me know what the new goalposts are.
