X Blocks 3,500 Posts, Deletes 600 Accounts Amid India's Grok Misuse Concerns

  • X has blocked 3,500 objectionable content pieces and removed over 600 accounts for sharing non-consensual obscene material.
  • The action follows a government directive to X Corp, owned by Elon Musk, regarding misuse of its AI chatbot, Grok.
  • MeitY expressed dissatisfaction with X's initial response to notices concerning Grok generating non-consensual obscene images.
  • X 'admitted its mistake' and assured compliance with Indian legal standards, halting the creation of obscene images.
  • Officials warned X could lose legal protection if it fails to comply, emphasizing Grok is a 'content creator', not a neutral platform tool.

Why It Matters: X takes action against obscene content and Grok misuse following strict government intervention in India.
