Users on X have taken several of the redacted images from the latest Epstein Files release and prompted Grok, X’s AI chatbot, to remove the redactions put in place for the privacy of the victims. These images include pictures of Jeffrey Epstein himself, but also ones with Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Brett Ratner, who is the director of the new documentary “Melania”. These images include visible bodies of children to young women, with only their faces covered by a black box. We found at least 18 different images and 1 video that multiple users were trying to un-redact using Grok on X in the days following the latest release.
When contacted about Grok's response to these requests, representatives from X failed to respond in time of publication.

![Call Between Alexey Navalny and FSB Officer Konstantin Kudryavtsev [English Subtitles]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gwvA49ZXnf8/mqdefault.jpg "Call Between Alexey Navalny and FSB Officer Konstantin Kudryavtsev [English Subtitles]
Full call between Navalny and one of the FSB officers in the team to trail and eventually poison him, Konstantin Kudryavtsev.
Before the publication of our recent joint investigation into the FSB officers involved in the operation to poison him in Tomsk, Navalny decided to call two members of the poison squad, Mikhail Shvets and Konstantin Kudryavtsev, by impersonating a senior security official. To both of these officers, Navalny introduced himself as a fictional character: Maxim Ustinov, an “aide to [Chairman of Russia’s Security Council] Nikolai Patrushev”. The premise of the call was that Navalny - playing the role of “Maxim Ustinov”, would ask the officers for an oral report on the reasons for the failure of the Navalny poisoning operation.
Over forty minutes, Kudryavtsev answered questions from Navalny whose voice he didnt recognize regarding the failed operation.")
