Govt issues notice to X over ‘obscene’ content targeting women, children on Grok
Amid ongoing concerns over the misuse of the platform’s AI tool Grok, the government has raised the issue of the tool producing and disseminating obscene, obscene and derogatory content, particularly targeting women and children, stating that this is a serious violation of dignity, privacy and digital security.
MeitY directed the platform to immediately review the technical and governance framework of its AI tool Grok and remove all illegal content. It also asked the platform to take action against the offending users and submit an Action Taken Report within 72 hours.
The ministry, led by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, warned that continued non-compliance could lead to loss of legal protection under the IT Act and stringent sanctions under multiple cyber, criminal and child protection laws.
