BRUSSELS, Jan 8 (Reuters) – The European Commission has ordered Elon ‍Musk’s social media site X to retain all internal documents and data relating to ‌its built-in ‌artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, until the end of 2026, a commission spokesperson said ​on Thursday.

The European Commission said on ‍Monday that ​the images of ​undressed women and children ‍being shared across X were unlawful and appalling, joining a growing chorus of ‍officials across the world who have condemned the surge ‍in ‍nonconsensual imagery ​on the platform.

“We ​take ⁠this very seriously,” ‌Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told reporters on Thursday.
