On January 8, 2026, the European Commission ordered the social media platform X to retain all relevant internal documents and data of its built-in AI chatbot Grok until the end of 2026. This document preservation order is an extension measure for the X platform. Previously, the EU had issued a rectification order last year regarding the platform's algorithm and recommendation system's role in disseminating illegal content. Currently, the Commission has received responses from the X platform to information inquiries and is evaluating the content.
