Elon Musk’s X to remove illegal content, ban offending users

Microblogging site X will act against illegal content by removing it, permanently suspending accounts that uploaded the material and working with local governments as required, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform said on Sunday.

The statement from the Global Government Affairs account of X was issued hours after it said people using the platform’s AI service, Grok, to create illegal content will face the same consequences as those uploading illegal content.
