Our new report on Grok found it enabled an estimated 3 MILLION sexualized images in just 11 days—including 23,000 images of children.
AI companies can’t keep dodging accountability for dangerous, poorly tested chatbots. We need robust legislation & systematic guardrails now.

This is Alex Pretti.
This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.
