India Threatens X’s Legal Immunity Over Grok Safeguard Failures

[madtrader]

The Indian government has warned that X could lose its “safe harbor” protections if it fails to address content generated by Grok that violates laws on obscenity, pornography, and child protection. These protections currently shield platforms from liability for user-generated content — but only if they follow local regulations.

By explicitly tying AI-generated outputs to platform responsibility, India is signaling that chatbots embedded in social networks will be treated no differently from human users. This approach raises the compliance bar for global tech firms deploying generative AI in high-engagement consumer platforms.
