In the latest wave of social media trends, people are now using Grok AI on X to generate bikini-edited pictures of random users without their consent. This is a massive privacy concern for millions of users, as any stranger can create potentially derogatory edits of any X profile. To tackle this, X has a feature where you can request to take down and delete posts that harm you or any content related to you. In this guide, we will walk you through the process so that you can protect your privacy on the Musk-led social media platform.
Delete Bikini Photos on Twitter
The official help centre page of X clearly mentions that any post or direct message that harms you can be deleted by the platform if proved correct. However, there is a proper procedure which needs to be followed for this to work, otherwise your report may get lost, given the millions of reporting that happens daily. Here are the detailed steps for reporting any content on X:
1. Open the post (tweet) that you find harmful.
2. Click on the three dots icon and select Report post.
3. Scroll down and choose Privacy. This step is most important as selecting the incorrect option may not get a proper response from the X team.
4. Now select the “Sharing a photo/video of me that I do not want on the platform”.
5. On the next page, click on “It belongs to me”, and submit your report.
X will analyse your report. If your report is found genuine, the platform will take appropriate action and delete the media on that post. If a certain account makes repeated violations, their ID may also get banned from the app.
Mail to X and Grok AI
Remember that Grok AI is a product of xAI, which is the parent company of the X platform. Since all entities are under the same group of companies, you can also directly contact Grok AI support and request the removal of content. The ongoing cases of unauthorised bikini edits of random people violates the terms and conditions of X, xAI, and even Grok AI. Here’s how you can contact Grok for the same:
1. Write an email to [email protected] and mention “Removal of Harmful Images Generated Without My Consent”.
2. Now write an email and mention your problem in detail. Here’s a template that you can refer to:
Dear Grok AI Trust & Safety Team,
I am writing to report the circulation of edited images created using AI tools, where my photographs have been altered to depict me in explicit bikini content without my knowledge or consent.
These images are unauthorised, misleading, and violate my privacy. I respectfully request that you review this matter and take appropriate action to remove such content from your platform, in line with your safety and content policies.
Please let me know if any additional information is required from my end to assist with this request.
Thank you for your time and support.
[Add link of the post which you are reporting]
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
3. Send the email. Note that emails can take longer to respond compared to manually reporting on X.
