Malaysia mulls court case against X for safety concerns
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is “weighing taking X to court,” citing the circulation of harmful content on the platform, according to reports.
The statement followed Malaysia’s decision to block the Grok chatbot over its alleged misuse in generating manipulated images.
Malaysia and Indonesia are the first countries to restrict access to Grok, an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, amid concerns that it was being used to create manipulated, sexually explicit, and non-consensual images.
Launched in 2023, Grok is accessible through X and allows users to ask questions and generate content. An image-generation feature added last year enabled the creation of sexually explicit material.
Meanwhile, the UK’s online safety regulator, Ofcom, opened a formal investigation into X on Monday over concerns that the chatbot is being used to produce sexualized images, reflecting mounting international scrutiny of the platform.
