JAKARTA: Indonesia’s Communications Ministry threatened on Wednesday to ban Elon Musk’s X and its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok after degrading pictures of women and children generated without consent surged on the social media platform. Grok has been complying with requests from X users to modify images of real women and children stripped to their underwear, creating a viral trend that has sparked concerns across the globe.

France and Malaysia have also launched probes into the viral Grok bikini trend.

Elon Musk's social media platform has warned users not to use Grok to generate illegal content.
