Due to local regulations, this content is restricted on X.
Users in India have suddenly started seeing the message “Due to local regulations, this content is restricted on X.” on the X (formerly Twitter) app and website. Users are quite upset by this and want to fix it. Let’s explore it in detail.
What does it mean and why does it appear?
This message on Twitter means that users cannot see specific content due to local regulations. Twitter has taken this step because of the new AI bill from the Indian government.
The Indian IT ministry needed to be strict so that the generative AI Grok bot could not be misused without regulations. On both the Twitter app and website, this error message is now appearing on all adult (18+) videos and photos.
In simple words, Elon Musk’s Twitter has banned 18+ videos on its platform in India. Users are searching for adult content on Twitter, but now this message is appearing on their screens.
In January 2026, some people uploaded photos of innocent individuals, including high-profile female actors, to the X platform and asked GrokAI to remove their clothes and transform the images into women wearing scanty clothing.
Regarding this, the government has given importance to privacy and has directed X to block and remove such adult content and has given an ultimatum to submit the compliance report as soon as possible.
