Social Media Today reports that Grok, the AI assistant developed by xAI, has been reinstated for users in Indonesia after being temporarily restricted due to a controversial safety concern tied to nudification risk. A government announcement regarding the matter read:
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.
The reinstatement comes after discussions between xAI and Indonesian regulators concerning Grok’s content moderation practices. Grok’s temporary removal from some app features and API access in the country stemmed from safety system weaknesses that allowed nudity-related content outputs in early tests, prompting authorities to intervene until improvements were made.
Indonesia’s temporary action against Grok followed reports that the AI had generated sensitive or inappropriate imagery when users explored certain prompts.
