Mayor and City Council of Baltimore v. X Corp. et al. is a municipal consumer-protection case over Grok’s alleged generation and distribution of nonconsensual sexualized images.[1]

Claims and procedural history

The city alleges that the defendants marketed X and Grok as governed by effective safeguards while omitting material risks and permitting abusive image generation. It seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief under Baltimore’s Consumer Protection Ordinance.[1]

This proceeding concerns Grok content and marketing. The separate NAACP and Carter actions concern data-center infrastructure.[1]
