Governments Press X Over Grok Deepfakes as India Rejects Company’s Response

Regulators demand specific safeguards with technical detail to curb non‑consensual images.

Overview

  • India said X’s written reply was inadequate after the company pledged account bans and legal compliance, and officials requested precise technical actions and prevention measures.
  • X told the IT Ministry it is in compliance with Indian law, cited takedowns, and offered a demonstration of Grok’s safety systems, but provided few specifics on changes to the tool itself.
  • The UK Commons women and equalities committee will stop using X, while Downing Street backed Ofcom to pursue enforcement that could include large fines or restricting access.
  • Ireland’s AI minister Niamh Smyth sought a meeting with X as new research by Genevieve Oh estimated about 6,700 sexually suggestive or nudifying Grok images per hour during a 24‑hour sample.
  • Reporting shows an active Telegram community sharing jailbreak techniques to repeatedly bypass Grok’s guardrails, underscoring a continuing cat‑and‑mouse cycle.
