You can (sort of) block Grok from editing your uploaded photos
TL;DR
People can block the xAI's Grok chatbot from creating modifications of their uploaded images on social network X. Neither X or xAI, both Elon Musk-owned businesses, have made a public announcement about this feature, which users began noticing on the iOS app within the image/video upload menu over the past few days.
Nauti's Take
A quiet opt-out buried in iOS settings is xAI's response to 23,000 CSAM images generated in 11 days. No announcement, no apology – just a toggle.
That's not accountability, that's damage control with a minimalist UI.
Briefingshow
Regulators are watching: the EU is already investigating. If you deploy image-gen tools, silent opt-outs won't satisfy compliance requirements.
