PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has lifted the temporary restriction on Grok, allowing users in Malaysia to resume access to the application from today (Jan 23).

MCMC said the move comes after receiving confirmation that the social media platform X has implemented additional preventive and security measures for Grok, an AI chatbot application.
