In a summary decision, the Amsterdam District court said xAI and Grok would be prohibited from "generating and/or distributing sexual imagery ... whereby persons are partially or wholly stripped naked without having given their explicit permission" and said it would impose fines of 100,000 euros ($115,350.00) per day if the companies do not comply.
The case was brought by Offlimits, a Dutch nonprofit group that combats online sexual abuse.
