The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued a formal notice to X, flagging serious lapses in statutory due diligence under the IT Act and IT Rules.
The government has raised concerns over the misuse of the platform’s AI tool, Grok, to generate and circulate obscene, sexually explicit and derogatory content, particularly targeting women and children, calling it a grave violation of dignity, privacy and digital safety.
MeitY has directed X to immediately review Grok’s technical and governance framework, remove all unlawful content, take action against offending users, and submit an Action Taken Report within 72 hours.
The ministry warned that continued non-compliance could lead to loss of legal protection under the IT Act and strict action under multiple cyber, criminal and child protection laws.
