In America:

Section 230 of the Communications Act provides immunity for online platforms and users, stating they generally aren't liable for content posted by others, allowing them to host third-party information without being treated as the "publisher or speaker".

I'm guessing Europe has a similar provision.

This would be a valid argument if X itself weren't the ones generating the images.

Oh! I hadn't thought that through. Guess we don't have laws to cover hold AI responsible and the company can simply dodge responsibility.

But it’s their own servers that generates de image. And how it was trained to be able to generate it in the first place?

Thanks! That makes sense. Although it's not really others if you ask me, its themselves. I'm sure they would argue otherwise. No accountability and it's only getting worse.
