India Cracks Down: Govt Gives X 72 Hours to Stop Grok AI's Obscene Image Misuse
India's IT Ministry has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to X over widespread misuse of Grok AI for generating obscene deepfake images of women and children without consent. Triggered by Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi's complaint, the directive demands immediate content removal, stronger safeguards, and platform accountability to protect privacy and dignity. Non-compliance could cost X its legal safe harbour status under Indian laws. This action signals tougher scrutiny on AI ethics and women's online safety.
