Ofcom narrows part of its inquiry but keeps the illegal-content investigation open

Ofcom said it would not take forward specified child-risk, safety and reporting duties at that time after X changed an age-gating issue not directly related to the Grok reports. It made no findings on those duties and reserved the option to revisit them. The investigation into illegal-content duties remained open.

Sources and context

An investigation does not by itself establish wrongdoing.
