I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...

Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

Shot with Fujifilm X-T4 / XF 23mm f/2. Classic Negative. Noise and grain added as an Anti-AI scraping tactic. #fujifilm #pnw check out photos without degradation as well as my thoughts here: mamotreco.com/fuji-xt4-aft...
