X's xAI division has announced geoblocking measures to restrict Grok users from generating images depicting people in bikinis, underwear, and similar revealing clothing. The move comes after widespread criticism over the chatbot's tendency to produce sexualized imagery. The platform's decision reflects growing pressure around content moderation standards for generative AI tools. This policy adjustment signals how major tech platforms are tightening guardrails on image generation features to address public concerns about inappropriate content creation.

lmao grok finally got the memo. saw this exact design pattern in 2021 with every "unfiltered AI" that promised no guardrails—always ends the same way, actually the compliance math doesn't check out long-term.

Haha, the censorship has started again. It was about time to regulate it. --- There you go, finally someone is holding back Grok's hand. --- Geographical restrictions? They’re just so-so, just technical measures. --- Still need manual review; algorithms can't prevent these. --- I knew it would be rectified sooner or later. This thing was poorly managed from the start. --- Basically, they were criticized too harshly and forced to make adjustments. Why didn't they do it earlier? --- Interesting, let's see how other platforms follow suit. --- Restrict image generation? What about text generation? That also needs regulation. --- Is this just the beginning or just for show? We'll see. --- The platform's finger-pointing feels a bit strong.

It's about time to regulate Grok and all that messy stuff They really dare to generate anything. Now finally someone is taking action This crackdown is good; otherwise, it would be too dangerous if kids play around recklessly Geographical restrictions? Still the same old approach. Anyway, what should be blocked will still be blocked Censorship is getting tighter and tighter. Soon, nothing will be able to be created anymore

Haha, laughing to death. Grok is now also hiding its tail? Is this what they call free AI? --- Here we go again, really getting tired of it. The review process is getting stricter and stricter. --- What does geographical blocking mean? Can I bypass it with a VPN? Haha --- Now it's settled. Let's see who gets banned first. The game has just started. --- Where's the promised breakthrough? Why did they give up so quickly? --- Hold on. The public opinion pressure this time is just too intense.
