X Takes Serious Action Against Grok Obscenity by Blocking Posts and Deleting Accounts. In its direction , the Center cautioned that failure to comply would be “viewed seriously and may result in strict legal consequences” According to government officials, social media platform X removed 600 accounts and restricted 3,500 posts after the Center reported offensive material on the site.
According to the sources, X has promised the government that it will abide by laws and not let pornographic material on its platform.
This occurs one week after pornographic material , formerly Twitter, was reported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Within 72 hours, the ministry requested an action taken report “towards immediate compliance for prevention of hosting, generation, publication or transmission, sharing or uploading of obscene, nude, indecent and explicit content through the misuse of Al-based services like ‘Grok’ and xAl’s other services” from X Corp, which is led by billionaire Elon Musk.
According to Indian law, non-compliance will be “viewed seriously and may result in strict legal consequences” against the platform and the relevant personnel, according to the Center’s directive.
According to the ministry’s letter, it has been noted that users are abusing Grok by setting up accounts to host, produce, publish, or distribute pornographic photographs or films of women in a rude or disparaging way in order to indecently insult them.
Now, Grok AI evaluates photos for X users
In order to stop the creation of such content, the ministry requested that X perform a thorough examination of Grok’s technical and governance systems. Grok, X’s AI assistant, is required to enforce stringent user regulations, including suspending and terminating violators, according to the warning.
According to the ministry, X’s failure to comply might lead to penalties under several laws, such as the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Indecent Representation of Women Act, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, as well as the loss of safe harbor under Section 79 of the IT Act.
According to the letter, prompts, image alteration, and synthetic outputs are used to target women who host or share their photos or videos in addition to creating phony accounts. “Such conduct reflects a serious failure of platform-level safeguards and enforcement mechanisms, and amounts to gross misuse of artificial intelligence technologies in violation of applicable laws,” the letter said.
She remarked, “The tweet just blew up.” Since then, I’ve had a lot more people make fun of me, and they’ve all become much worse. People continued doing more and more after realizing that it was bothering me and that I didn’t like it. In one, I’m fully nude with only a small piece of string around my waist, while in another, I have a ball gag in my mouth with my eyes rolled back. It’s insane that they could be produced.
The progressively demeaning images of the early days were swiftly replaced as individuals gradually began to realize the full power of the technology.
Since the end of last week, fans have requested that the women’s bodies be covered in white, semen-like liquid or that the bikinis be adorned with swastikas. Images of children and teenage females were reduced to skimpy swimwear; some of this material might easily be classified as child sexual assault, yet it was still accessible on the platform.
The demands become increasingly severe. Some users—mostly men—started to insist on seeing bruises on the women’s bodies and adding blood to the pictures. Requests to display ladies gagged and bound were promptly fulfilled.
By Thursday, the chatbot was being asked to add gunshot holes to the face of Renee Nicole Good, who was slain on Wednesday by an ICE agent in the United States. Grok quickly complied, uploading horrific, bleeding, altered photos of the victim to X in a matter of seconds.
