India Emerges as the Biggest Regulatory Threat

While Europe and other regions have issued warnings, the most serious potential consequences may come from India. Following a formal complaint from a member of Parliament, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) ordered X to explain how it addressed the Grok abuse and submit an official action-taken report under a tight deadline.

If Indian regulators determine the response is insufficient, X could lose its safe harbor protections — a move that would significantly restrict its ability to operate in one of the world’s largest internet markets. As governments from the UK to Australia weigh their next steps, the Grok controversy is shaping up to be a defining test of how — or whether — AI regulation can keep pace with rapidly deployed generative systems.
