Nearly 30 advocacy organizations have stepped up pressure on Google and Apple to delist X and its AI companion Grok from their respective app stores. The push comes after Grok was found facilitating the generation of inappropriate sexual imagery depicting minors and women. The controversy highlights mounting concerns over AI content moderation standards and whether mainstream app platforms are doing enough to prevent harmful AI-generated material. This move signals broader scrutiny on how platforms are vetting third-party AI tools before distribution to millions of users.

Oh no, it's the same old story. Apple and Google are really cornered this time. --- Why hasn't Grok been taken down yet? It should have been shut down harshly a long time ago. --- 30 organizations jointly exerted pressure. It seems everyone can't hold on anymore... Is the review process really just a formality? --- To put it simply, these platforms turn a blind eye; as long as the money is in place, everything can pass. --- Wait, offending so many advocacy groups, this wave of X might really be doomed. --- They can still operate despite generating harmful content. I just can't understand where this logic makes sense. --- AI and Grok again, hyped up to the skies, but in the end, it's just a bunch of mess. --- If Apple and Google actually take down these apps, that would be news. Just talking about it now is useless. --- This will happen sooner or later. Things that kids can use are secretly generating this kind of content... Truly incredible. --- Platform operators are now being pressed to the ground and rubbed.

NGL, Grok's approach is really outrageous. If they can't even stick to the bottom line of not generating inappropriate content for children, who would still dare to use it?

Grok is really outrageous. How can such things be approved? Apple and Google need to take this seriously.

Honestly, grok's recent moves are really disappointing... This kind of thing should have been dealt with long ago.

Grok is really incredible, generating inappropriate images of children? If they don't take it down now, I really don't understand... Over 30 organizations jointly pressured them, and that's when they finally acted? Big companies are just pretending to sleep; no one can wake them up.

Grok is really outrageous. How dare they upload such content? Apple and Google should have taken better control of their stores long ago.

Really, 30 organizations jointly criticizing Google and Apple, this time it's pretty intense --- What does Grok generate? Come on, it should have been taken down long ago --- The issue isn't with Grok, anyone can make this thing, the key is that app platforms simply don't want to regulate --- Wait, are Apple and Google still pretending not to see? That's hilarious --- Thirty organizations have stepped in, finally someone is taking this seriously --- Content moderation is really, big companies choose to turn a blind eye

Grok is really incredible—generating inappropriate content for minors? Who came up with this feature... If Apple and Google actually remove it from the store, at least they still have some conscience.
