[UK Communications Authority Launches Investigation into X Platform]
According to CCTV reports, the UK Communications Authority (Ofcom) has launched a formal investigation into the US social media platform X Platform under the UK's Online Safety Act to determine whether it has fulfilled its obligations to protect UK users from illegal content.
A press release issued by Ofcom on the same day stated that there have been reports of the 'Grok' chatbot account on X Platform being used to generate and disseminate sexually explicit content involving real individuals, including several adult women and minors, which is deeply concerning.
The press release noted that Ofcom has decided to formally investigate X Platform to determine whether it has failed to meet its legal obligations under the Online Safety Act. The first step of the investigation is to collect and analyze evidence to determine whether any violations have occurred.
