The plaintiff, Compact e.V., is a German registered association acting as a political NGO. The X account “@grok” published the incorrect statement that the plaintiff receives government subsidies or federal funds for its activities. The plaintiff became aware of this statement because the chat history with xAI's AI bot, Grok, along with the output that included the false statements, was publicly accessible on social media platform X.
The plaintiff subsequently asserted an infringement of its personality rights due to the dissemination of this false factual statement via X and filed an application for a preliminary injunction at the Regional Court Hamburg.
