Netherlands: Amsterdam District Court issued ruling in Stichting Offlimits v X prohibiting generation and distribution of non-consensual undressing images and child pornographic material on Grok

Description

Amsterdam District Court issued ruling in Stichting Offlimits v X prohibiting generation and distribution of non-consensual undressing images and child pornographic material on Grok

On 26 March 2026, the Amsterdam District Court issued a preliminary relief ruling in Stichting Offlimits v X.AI LLC, X Corp., and X Internet Unlimited Company (C/13/783613 / KG ZA 26-120), prohibiting X.AI from generating and distributing non-consensual undressing images and child pornographic material via the Grok AI chatbot. The court prohibited X.AI from generating and distributing non-consensual undressing images of persons residing in the Netherlands, and from producing and distributing child pornographic material in the Netherlands. The court found that Offlimits had sufficiently substantiated that reasonable doubt existed about the effectiveness of the measures taken by the defendants to prevent such content, notably Offlimits demonstrated on 9 March 2026 that Grok could still generate a non-consensual undressing video of a real, identifiable person. The court ordered X.AI to confirm in writing to Offlimits how it had complied with the prohibitions. The court imposed a daily penalty of EUR 100'000, up to a maximum of EUR 10'000'000, on X.AI for each day of non-compliance. The court further prohibited X Corp. and X Internet Unlimited Company from offering Grok as part of the X platform for as long as Grok fails to comply with the prohibition on non-consensual undressing images, subject to the same daily penalty and maximum for each entity. The court declared the ruling immediately enforceable.
