1) These images are being posted by @Grok, which is an official X account, not a user account.

2) X still has an ethical and probably legal obligation to remove these images from their platform, even if they are somehow found not to be responsible for generating them, even though they generated them.

For #2, you are correct. Section 230 isn’t blatant immunity, you need to still follow all the other relevant laws including FOSTA-SESTA, DMCA etc.
