It comes hours after Ofcom announced it was launching an investigation into X over “deeply concerning reports” about Grok altering images of people.
In a statement, Kendall urged the regulator not to take “months and months” to conclude its investigation, and demanded it set out a timeline “as soon as possible”.
It is currently illegal to share deepfakes of adults in the UK, but until now legislation which would make it a criminal offence to create or request them has not been enforced, despite passing in June 2025.
Kendall said she would also make it a “priority offence” in the Online Safety Act.
“The content which has circulated on X is vile. It’s not just an affront to decent society, it is illegal,” she said.
“Let me be crystal clear – under the Online Safety Act, sharing intimate images of people without their consent, or threatening to share them, including pictures of people in their underwear, is a criminal offence for individuals and for platforms.
“This means individuals are committing a criminal offence if they create or seek to create such content including on X, and anyone who does this should expect to face the full extent of the law.”
