Canada's Privacy Watchdog Ruled Grok's Deepfakes Broke the Law
Canada's privacy regulator investigated and found X and xAI broke the law by letting Grok generate sexualized deepfakes.
"Organizations have a responsibility and legal obligation to protect Canadians' fundamental right to privacy."
Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada
Canada’s federal privacy regulator opened a probe in January, chased it for five months, and on June 11 concluded that X and xAI broke Canadian privacy law by letting Grok manufacture sexualized deepfakes of real people, children among them, without meaningful safeguards. Commissioner Philippe Dufresne stated the obligation the companies ignored in one flat sentence. Elon Musk shipped an image tool the public immediately weaponized, and an entire G7 nation has now entered the violation into the official record.
