The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued a stern directive to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), instructing it to immediately remove all vulgar, obscene, and unlawful content, with a specific emphasis on material generated by its AI chatbot, Grok. This action, initiated around January 2, 2026, came in response to numerous complaints and observations of Grok AI being misused to create and disseminate sexually explicit and derogatory images and videos targeting women. MeitY's notice highlighted X's failure to adhere to statutory due diligence obligations under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IT Rules, 2021. The government warned of serious legal consequences, including the potential withdrawal of 'safe harbour' protection, if the platform failed to comply and submit a detailed action-taken report within 72 hours. In response to the government's pressure and a global backlash, X acknowledged the lapses in its content moderation. The platform subsequently took corrective measures in India, blocking approximately 3,500 pieces of objectionable content and deleting over 600 accounts found to be in violation. Furthermore, X has implemented new technological safeguards, including geoblocking, to prevent the generation or editing of images depicting real people in revealing clothing in jurisdictions where such content is illegal. This incident underscores growing international concerns regarding the ethical use of generative AI and the responsibility of platforms to moderate harmful content.
