The social network has imposed further restrictions on artificial intelligence, following controversy over the creation of images of real people in intimate clothing, including minors. The measure also applies to paid subscribers.

Shah Alam (Malaysia), 12/01/2026.- The Grok artificial intelligence (AI) website is displayed on a mobile phone as a nationwide restriction on the service takes effect, in Shah Alam, outside Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 12 January 2026. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) ordered a temporary block on the tool starting 11 January, citing its 'repeated misuse' to generate non-consensual sexually explicit images and 'grossly offensive' content. According to the regulator, the action was taken after social media platform X and xAI, the start-up behind Grok, failed to implement adequate technical safeguards despite multiple formal notices.

Elon Musk's X social network will block the creation of sexualized images made through Grok. The growing controversyover the creation of photos and illustrations of people wearing bikinis or underwear da has been the reason for the decision, as minors are involved.

The security issue of X, in a message posted on the social network itself, has explained that the measure responds to its commitment to "create a safe space for all" and aims to maintain a policy ofzero tolerance for the sexual exploitation of minors, unauthorized nudes and unwanted sexual content.

The company has specified that technological measureshave already been implemented  that prevent the editing of images of real people using bikinis or intimate clothing, a restriction that affects all users, including those with paid subscriptions.

On January 9, X limited the image creation function only to subscribed users. Now, the platform has gone further and extended the blocking of this type of content to the entire community, so it will not be possible to create real-person images with underwear or the like through Grok.

In addition, X specifies that the creation of images of real people in bikinis or underwear is geographically blocked in illegal jurisdictions, either through the Grok account or through integration into the platform.

The European Union has asked X to keep all documentation related to the creation of the images until the end of the year and the United Kingdom has threatened to block the social network, while Malaysia and Indonesia have directly banned the use of Grok.

Digital Rights, Child Protection and Women's Rights organizations have also called for stronger measures. In an open letter, they have asked Apple and Google to remove Grok from their app stores because they believe they are using  to create unauthorized intimate images, including child sexual abuse material, which they believe violates the rules of these platforms.
