Groq enumerates a set of categorically prohibited content types, including both absolute prohibitions and at least one category limited to illegal instances, defining a hard floor of unacceptable use.
Interpretive note: The grammatical scope of 'that is illegal' is ambiguous—it may modify only 'non-consensual intimate imagery or sexually explicit content' or may extend to some or all of the preceding categories. The canonical claim treats it as modifying the final item only, which is the most natural reading, but this creates interpretive uncertainty.
Users are absolutely barred from using Groq's services for the listed harmful content categories; for non-consensual intimate imagery and sexually explicit content, the prohibition applies specifically to content that is illegal.
