X Blocks Content, will Delete 600 Accounts 'Obscene Imagery Row'

Social media platform X has accepted its mistake and acknowledged lapses in its content moderation standards and conveyed to the Indian Government that it will fully comply with the Indian law and operate in accordance with regulations, government sources said. 

The issue came to light after concerns were raised over the circulation of obscene and



sexually explicit content on the platform, including material allegedly generated or amplified through its Artificial Intelligence tool, Grok.

According to the government sources, around 3,500 pieces of obscene content have been blocked, and over 600 accounts have been deleted. The platform has also assured that it will not allow obscene imagery going forward.
