Hello reader,

X has increasingly become a cesspool of AI-generated NSFW content recently, with its AI chatbot Grok being used to manipulate private photos into pornographic content.

While this has triggered outrage globally, the Indonesian government is also taking notice and has officially warned X to implement safeguards or face a ban in the country. We’ve seen numerous platforms blocked in Indonesia over pornography before, of course.

That, and much more, in today’s edition of Nusantara Notes.

Cheers,

Andra
