BREAKING: X Admits Mistake, Deletes 600 Accounts, Bars Obscene Images
The owner of X, Elon Musk
Social media platform X has acknowledged lapses in handling content on its platform and conveyed to the Indian government that it will fully comply with Indian law, government sources told ANI.
As part of corrective action, X has reportedly blocked around 3,500 pieces of content and deleted more than 600 accounts, while assuring authorities that it will not allow obscene imagery on the platform henceforth.
The actions were taken following directions issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to remove vulgar, obscene and unlawful content, particularly content generated through X’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok.
X has previously told Centre that it is introducing additional guardrails for Grok, including stricter image-generation filters and refined safeguards aimed at preventing the misuse of user images, people familiar with the matter had told The Economic Times.
MeitY is currently reviewing the company’s detailed response outlining measures taken to curb the spread of obscene and unlawful content on the platform.
