Malaysia is the second country to ban the Grok AI app.

The Malaysian government has banned the AI ​​app Grok, effective Sunday, making it the second country after Indonesia to do so. The reason given is the same: problems with its creation of inappropriate content and images, including images of women and child pornography.

Malaysian regulators said they had issued two warnings to X and xAI this month, requesting that the companies improve their systems for preventing inappropriate content and enhance their verification processes to comply with Malaysian law. X responded on both occasions that its current method of user reporting inappropriate content was insufficient for Malaysia's needs.

Indonesia also recently announced a ban on Grok.
