Grok Banned in Indonesia and Malaysia Following Deepfake Image Concerns
Grok has been temporarily suspended in Indonesia and Malaysia. The xAI’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot received global criticism after it began editing images of users posted publicly on X (formerly Twitter). The feature was widely exploited by some users to generate sexually inappropriate images of others without consent, and many countries, including the European Union (EU), India, Indonesia, and Malaysia, had questioned the social media platform and xAI over safety guardrails.
