Investigations and access restrictions against Grok

The launch of Grok, the generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by xAI and deployed on X, quickly attracted regulatory attention across jurisdictions. The tool’s ability to produce sexualised, explicit, and otherwise harmful content raised concerns among governments, particularly regarding user safety, child protection, and the adequacy of content safeguards. To address these concerns, countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, and India launched investigations, and Indonesia and Malaysia led in restricting access to Grok. This thread outlines relevant policy and regulatory developments relating to Grok.
