Now only paying Grok subscribers can make CSAM. Super cool.

Makes perfect business sense. Where else would these users go to for their CSAM-generation needs? They have no other option but to pay!
Paying subscribers are trivial to track down and convict if they're making CSAM.

In a way, leaving it open as a honeypot is the best action.

Doubtful. The first thing Musk did was fire the safety team at Twitter.
Safety people are also quitting Xitter themselves.

Therefore we know that a proportion of paying grok subscribers will cause harm to real victims. This isn't an abstract debate about free expression.

Non-consensual intimate imagery harms real people.

CSAM normalizes and facilitates abuse of real children.

Grok, and everyone involved in it or similar endeavours, facilitate abuse.
