Following a big India Today impact on the Grok obscenity row, Elon Musk's social media platform X has admitted to lapses and assured compliance with Indian law, according to government sources. The action comes after the IT Ministry directed X to remove all vulgar and unlawful material generated by its AI chatbot, Grok. In its official submission, X stated it would take 'strict action against illegal content and confirmed that such material would be removed and accounts involved would be permanently suspended'. Following the centre's directives, the platform has blocked around 3,500 pieces of content and deleted over 600 accounts. Officials added that X has committed to ensuring that obscene imagery will not be allowed on the platform in the future. The government had found X's initial response inadequate, stressing that social media companies must take responsibility for the content they host.
