We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.
We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.
In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

We know there is no silver bullet but there are lots more things that could be done.
Grace’s legacy must be safer roads.
- we need special policing unit tasked with reckless use and confiscation of illegal scramblers and scooters

Grok is being used to create sexualised images of women and child abuse material which are posted on X.
So, why is the Department of Education still posting images of children to X?
If Government Departments are going to continue to use X, can they at least stop posting images of children?

Dublin City's deputy lord mayor has said that the operating hours of 24/7 bus lanes should be reduced because they are not needed on weekends, as he doesn't see congestion then, but in the same breath, he also said that the bus lanes are adding to congestion on weekends. The deputy lord mayor, Cllr John Stephens (Fianna Fáil), said: "A lot of residents of the Navan Road have asked me 'Do we need a bus line in operation for seven days a week, 24/7?'"
