Overview
- India’s IT ministry directed X to immediately remove unlawful content tied to Grok and conduct a comprehensive technical, procedural, and governance review of the AI tool.
- X must file an action taken report within 72 hours detailing Grok-related safeguards, the India compliance officer’s oversight, and enforcement against offending content, users, and accounts.
- The notice warns that non-compliance could cost X its intermediary safe-harbour protections and invite legal action under the IT Act, BNS/BNSS, and other laws.
- Users on X have been publicly tagging Grok to create non-consensual sexualised edits of women’s photos, and xAI acknowledged lapses that allowed isolated cases involving minors, saying fixes are underway and some images were removed.
- French ministers have reported sexually explicit Grok outputs to prosecutors as unlawful, and public pressure for stronger platform enforcement has intensified.
