Musk’s X commits to UK regulator on hate speech, with Grok probe still open

▤ Summary

X agreed with UK regulator Ofcom to review suspected illegal hate and terrorist posts within 24 hours on average, assess at least 85% within 48 hours, restrict UK access to proscribed groups, and submit quarterly performance data for a year. The platform also committed to engage external experts to improve its reporting flow. Ofcom’s formal investigation into X — including a separate probe into its Grok AI assistant over AI-generated sexualised imagery and image-editing features — remains open. The commitments are negotiated measures under the Online Safety Act framework, not a settlement, and sit alongside parallel EU and international regulatory scrutiny.
