Elon Musk's X platform removed 600 accounts and blocked 3,500 objectionable posts following India's government directive over Grok AI chatbot misuse for generating obscene content. The Ministry of Electronics and IT issued a January 2 notice threatening legal action if X failed to remove vulgar content, particularly Grok-generated images featuring "digital undressing." X assured compliance with Indian laws. The crackdown followed MP Priyanka Chaturvedi's complaint to IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw about women's digital safety concerns. X faces global backlash, with UK Prime Minister Starmer calling it "disgusting" and the EU demanding document retention. Musk warned users creating illegal content would face consequences matching uploading violations. (PC: The Telegraph)
