Following worldwide criticism over sexualized deepfakes of people — including women and minors — Grok last week restricted its image creation and editing tools to paying subscribers. Opponents, however, argue the measure fell short of solving the issue.
"The government sees nonconsensual sexual deepfakes as a serious violation of human rights, dignity and the safety of citizens in the digital space,” Indonesian Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid said in a statement obtained by The Associated Press.
