The prompt was a user's, but the publication was the agent's, and Keller-Sutter filed against persons unknown precisely so prosecutors could examine whether those responsible at X made Grok available knowing it could be used to commit offences. That is the operator-liability question this corpus exists to document. Recorded as bias/ethical harm (misogyny), not as a security incident. AI Incident Database incident 1437.",
