X Blocks Content, Will Delete 600 Accounts Over Grok Obscenity Row: Sources | Read

Social media platform X has blocked 3,500 posts and deleted 600 accounts after the Centre flagged obscene content on the website, according to government sources. The sources said that X has assured the government that it won't allow obscene content on its platform and will follow government regulations.

This comes a week after the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology flagged obscene content on X, formerly Twitter. The ministry had asked X Corp, helmed by billionaire Elon Musk, for 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" within 72 hours.
