Social media platform X has acknowledged lapses in handling content on its platform and conveyed to the Indian government that it will fully comply with Indian law, government sources told ANI.
As part of corrective action, X has reportedly blocked around 3,500 pieces of content and deleted more than 600 accounts, while assuring authorities that it will not allow obscene imagery on the platform henceforth.
The actions were taken following directions issued by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to remove vulgar, obscene and unlawful content, particularly content generated through X’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok
