Govt Gives X Till Jan 7 for Action Report on Obscene AI Content; Warns of Legal Action

• Indian government extends X's deadline to January 7 for submitting a detailed Action Taken Report on obscene AI-generated content.
• The extension follows X's request for more time after a stern warning from the IT Ministry regarding misuse of AI tools like 'Grok'.
• The ministry highlighted 'Grok' being used to create fake accounts and manipulate images of women, violating IT Act rules.
• X was warned of losing Section 79 immunity and facing legal action under IT Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita if due diligence obligations are not met.
• X's 'Safety' handle stated it would take action against illegal content, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), and users generating it via Grok.

Why It Matters: X must comply with Indian IT laws on obscene AI content by Jan 7 or face severe legal consequences.
