The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) of India has found that the latest restrictions on Grok’s image generation tool by X are not adequate to prevent obscene content. The platform, owned by Elon Musk, restricted the controversial feature, known as Grok Imagine, to paid subscribers across the globe. The feature was removed to prevent free users on the platform from creating abusive images. However, officials have argued that allowing such image generation violates Indian laws on privacy and dignity, especially regarding women and children.
Grok Imagine, available on X and as a separate app, has shown a rise in pornographic and abusive images, including non-consensual images of real people, including children, being naked. The feature, known as Spicy Mode, which produced such images, sparked anger across India, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Malaysia, Brazil, and the European Union. The feature allowed users to create images of people being undressed, including images of women being dressed in bikinis. The feature sparked anger among members of Parliament in India.
