‘Centre ready to revoke X’s safe harbour tag to protect citizens’

Given that preserving the safety and dignity of citizens online is of primary importance, the government is prepared to revoke social media platform X’s ‘safe harbour’ status if it doesn’t comply with latest takedown directions on artificial intelligence (AI) generated obscene images, official sources familiar with the matter said.

They also pointed out it wouldn’t be the first time the platform has lost its legal safety net, after failing to adhere to Indian laws.
