Following a fortnight of public outcry at the tool embedded into X being used to create sexualised images of women and children, the company said it would "geoblock" the ability of users "to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire via the Grok account and in Grok in X", in countries where it was illegal.
