The BBC has approached X for comment.
It has previously pointed to a statement posted by its Safety account: “Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.”
Responding to a question from Labour MP Emily Darlington during prime minister’s questions, Sir Keir repeated his condemnation of Grok as “disgusting” and said Ofcom had ministers’ full backing to act if X did not.
He said: “To update the House, I have been informed this morning that X is acting to ensure full compliance with UK law.
“If so, that is welcome, but we’re not going to back down, and they must act.
“We will take the necessary measures. We will strengthen existing laws and prepare for legislation if it needs to go further, and Ofcom will continue its independent investigation.”
