Microblogging platform X has removed 600 accounts and blocked around 3,500 objectionable posts after the Centre flagged the misuse of its AI chatbot Grok to generate obscene content, sources said on Sunday. Elon Musk’s X is facing a global backlash over the “digital undressing” of images through user prompts on Grok. Public calls for action on both X and Grok over the issue have also been growing. According to government sources, X has blocked 3,500 obscene posts and deleted 600 accounts. Apart from India, the UK and the EU have also mounted pressure on X over the Grok deepfake images.
