Non-consensual sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation. [...] We will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA, or whether it treated the rights of European citizens — including those of women and children — as collateral damage of its service.

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.
