"Grok is once again available in Indonesia, after the country lifted its ban on the AI chatbot that was seen generating millions of sexualized deepfakes, thousands of which included children. The country's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs released a statement earlier today, which said X is allowed to resume service in Indonesia but will be subject to monitoring for any future violations."
"According to the Indonesian government agency, X provided a letter that detailed several implemented measures that prevent the misuse of its Grok chatbot. Alexander Sabar, the ministry's director general of digital space supervision, said in the statement that the agency will test the new measures on an ongoing basis and will ban Grok again if it's found spreading illegal content or violating the country's laws regarding children."
Indonesia lifted its ban on the Grok chatbot and allowed X to resume service under ongoing monitoring by the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs. X submitted a letter describing implemented safety measures intended to prevent misuse of Grok. The ministry will continuously test those measures and has warned it will ban Grok again if the chatbot spreads illegal content or violates child protection laws. Indonesia previously banned Grok after the chatbot produced sexually explicit deepfake images of women and children. Other countries and regulators have also investigated or lifted similar bans with monitoring conditions.
