On a purely vibes-based analysis, I don't see courts being receptive to an X argument based on overblocking. The obvious answer is that X chose to merge AI nudification into the main domain, and it could just as easily unmerge it. After all, it already has a separate grok .com/imagine site.

I suspect the proportionality analysis will vary significantly depending on whether the site operator is itself encouraging or directly engaging in illegal use (no longer merely an intermediary). X is more akin to The Pirate Bay caselaw in deliberately flouting the law.

Also, 'bikini' images are not the only concern. The Grok chatbot replies on the main X site does have some guardrails but Grok Imagine (grok .com/imagine) generates full nudes, penetration, etc.

Grok Is Generating Sexual Content Far More Graphic Than What's on X
A WIRED review of outputs hosted on Grok’s official website shows it’s being used to create violent sexual images and videos, as well as content that includes apparent minors.
