4) Elon Musk’s Grok under MeitY scanner, sues Indian govt:
Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is in touch with billionaire Elon Musk’s social media platform X over recent incidents of its AI chatbot Grok using Hindi slang and abusive responses.
According to a report by news agency PTI, the IT ministry is examining the issue. It will investigate the matter and the factors that led to the use of abusive language.
Musk’s X has also filed a petition against the Indian government in the Karnataka High Court, challenging the use of Section 79 (3) of the Information Technology Act, according to a report in the Hindustan Times. X argues that the Indian government’s use of this section creates an illegal parallel process for blocking content, and also violates the Supreme Court’s 2015 order in the Shreya Singhal case, which affirmed that content can only be blocked under the structured process of Section 69 A of the IT Act.

According to WABetaInfo, the feature was spotted in WhatsApp Beta for iOS version 25.7.10.70. Once implemented, users will have the option to display their Instagram profile links on their WhatsApp profiles.
Moreover, the link is expected to appear beneath the user’s profile picture and name, enhancing visibility for those who wish to connect their accounts across Meta-owned platforms.
