MeitY Warns X: Remove Unlawful Grok AI Content in 72 Hours or Face Legal Action

  • MeitY issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Elon Musk's X to remove "unlawful content" generated by its Grok AI tool.
  • The directive follows outrage over Grok being used to morph women's and children's photos into sexually explicit images without consent.
  • MeitY warned of "strict legal consequences" for non-compliance, citing failure to observe statutory due diligence under IT Act and Rules.
  • X must conduct a technical review of Grok, enforce user policies, and demonstrate compliance with Indian laws.
  • The incident has fueled discussions on regulating social media content in India, with Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw considering stronger laws.

Why It Matters: India demands X remove explicit AI-generated content, warning legal action for non-compliance.
