Indonesia lets Elon Musk's Grok resume, lifting ban over sexualised images
Indonesia lifted its ban on Grok after X Corp committed to preventing misuse and complying with child protection laws, with access now conditional and under strict supervision.
- On Feb 1, 2026, Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs permitted Grok to resume service after X Corp provided written assurances, processing the resumption on a conditional basis.
- Indonesia suspended Grok three weeks ago after the AI chatbot was used to generate undressed and sexualised images of women and children, citing risks of AI-generated pornographic content.
- A written commitment from X Corp described concrete steps to prevent abuse, and X said it implemented layered measures including restricting Grok's image-generation for most users.
- Regional responses included blocks in the Philippines and Malaysia and regulators in France and the UK have opened inquiries while Malaysia's Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission suspended Grok on January 11 and lifted restrictions last week after platform changes.
- The ministry said it will keep monitoring Grok for illegal content and child-protection breaches, with Alexander Sabar stating, `This commitment is the basis for evaluation, not the end of the supervision process.
