Women’s, advocacy groups call on Apple, Google to drop X, Grok from app stores

A coalition of women’s groups, tech watchdogs, and progressive ‍activists is calling on Alphabet owner Google and Apple to remove the social media site X ⁠and its related chatbot, Grok, from their app stores.

In open letters published on Wednesday, the coalition accused the Elon Musk-owned apps of generating illegal content that violates both companies’ terms of ‌service.

The push, whose ‌backers include the feminist group UltraViolet, the National Organization for Women, the liberal group MoveOn, and the parent ‌advocacy group ParentsTogether Action, is aimed at piling pressure on Musk after Grok began generating sexually charged, degrading, or violent images of women and children.
