"X's Grok app has been reinstated in Indonesia, after it was recently banned for generating sexualized images of people without their knowledge or consent. In early January, in response to the Indonesia's Communications Ministry Grok nudification trend on X, threatened to ban both X and the separate Grok app if concerns related to "degrading pictures of women and children" were not addressed ."
"Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs said in a statement on Sunday that the ministry had received a letter from X Corp 'outlining concrete steps for service improvements and the prevention of misuse.' The ban will be lifted 'conditionally,' and Grok could be blocked again if 'further violations are discovered,' Alexander Sabar, the ministry's director general of digital space monitoring, said in the statement."
"And Musk's new management team did provide some data notes, which suggested that they had improved the platform's efforts on this front. But more recent reports indicate that CSAM content is now more prevalent in the app than ever on X, while the company has also ended its contract with Thorn, a nonprofit organization that provides technology that can detect and address child sexual abuse content (Thorn says that X stopped paying its invoices)."
Grok was reinstated in Indonesia after a ban prompted by the app generating sexualized images of people without their knowledge or consent. In early January, Indonesia's Communications Ministry threatened to ban both X and the separate Grok app over a nudification trend producing degrading pictures of women and children. The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs received a letter from X Corp outlining concrete steps for service improvements and prevention of misuse, and the ban will be lifted conditionally. Grok could be blocked again if further violations are discovered. Reports say CSAM content has become more prevalent on X, and X ended its contract with Thorn, which provided detection technology.
