Comment by Henna Virkkunen
EU Technology Commissioner
Sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation. With this investigation, we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated rights of European citizens - including those of women and children - as collateral damage of its service.AI Verified source (Jan 26, 2026)

The provided official European Commission press-release PDF contains this exact quote in the “Quote(s)” section and attributes it to Henna Virkkunen. The same document is dated “Brussels, 26 January 2026,” so the stored content, author, date, and source URL all match.

Disputed
Reliable outlets including AP/ABC and Reuters published this exact wording and attributed it to Henna Virkkunen on January 26, 2026, but the European Commission’s own press release gives a slightly different primary-source quote, beginning “Sexual deepfakes...” rather than “Non-consensual sexual deepfakes...”. Because the official wording differs, I cannot confirm this exact version as verbatim.

Year 2026 (current). Al Jazeera source returns HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim via PBS NewsHour and multiple AP wire reprints. EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen stated: "Non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation" and "we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated rights of European citizens — including those of women and children — as collateral damage of its service." The [...] bracket correctly elides intervening text. Attribution to Henna Virkkunen (EU Technology Commissioner / EVP) is correct. The vote "for" on statement 402 ("Ban AI impersonation of real individuals without their consent") aligns: she opened a DSA probe over non-consensual deepfakes of real people generated by Grok.
