The X platform's artificial intelligence tool, Grok, drew attention in July for its profane responses.

Following this incident, Turkey decided to restrict access to Grok's X account. According to the Freedom of Expression Association, this decision was communicated to internet service providers, with the "protection of national security and public order" cited as the justification.

It has not yet been announced which criminal judgeship of peace issued the decision. As of now, Grok's account has not been completely blocked from access in Turkey by X.

A similar situation occurred in the past. In July, by the decision of the Ankara 7th Criminal Judgeship of Peace, 50 posts on Grok's X account were blocked from access. While some of these posts were deleted by X, those that were not deleted were blocked from access within Turkey.
