The government has given X additional time till January 7 to submit a detailed Action Taken Report after it issued a stern warning to the Elon Musk-led social media platform over indecent and sexually-explicit content being generated through misuse of AI-based services like ‘Grok’ and other tools.The grant of extension came after X sought additional time from the IT Ministry, sources said.
On Sunday, X’s ‘Safety’ handle said it will take action against illegal content on its platform, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary.
“Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content,” it had said, reiterating Musk’s stance on illegal content.
Government sources said X had sought more time, and now it has been asked to submit its report by January 7.
