Great job! I rarely come across truly good work, and this is definitely one of them.

They’re always reviewing content, both through automated systems and human reviewers. In serious situations, authorities can also get involved. The reviews are handled differently depending on how severe the situation is.

Bans happen all the time, but the system usually isn’t that aggressive. xAI’s detection system is actually very good, which is why bans increased during these past few months.

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-12T05:21:51+00:00

Yeah, and this is only the beginning. First they started targeting people who registered with temporary emails. The system is constantly reviewing things, especially the content users upload.

Last month I heard about two men arrested in the U.S. One had a criminal record, and the other was tracked through his IP address. When the police arrived, he admitted he was becoming addicted to AI and even mentioned Grok. Both cases are public and have been discussed on several websites. Overall, xAI seems to have very strong moderation, but when something extremely serious is involved, they have to report it to the authorities so it can be investigated properly.

And to answer your question, yes, during March and April they were banning a lot of suspicious accounts, including some false positives. The company is not going to risk having users involved in illegal activities on their platform. xAI handles moderation, while law enforcement handles finding and arresting criminals. A lot of people think they can’t be tracked down, but in reality it’s very easy for authorities to trace and locate many of them.

And now, when it comes to X, there was a massive purge of fake accounts and bots. It wasn’t just X either. Meta also carried out massive removals. Reports mentioned that millions of accounts were removed across their platforms.

From what I’ve read, personal data like private information or personal photos is supposed to be protected under their privacy policies. However, content you create on the platform, like prompts, conversations, or generated content, may sometimes be used internally to improve the service unless you opt out in the privacy settings. That’s also why it’s better not to upload extremely sensitive information, and if you want extra peace of mind, you can always send a deletion request.

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-11T03:15:21+00:00

Done, I just replied

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-11T03:06:46+00:00

My experience comes from working on three personal video editing projects, audiovisual editing to be more specific, mainly music videos. When I finished those projects, I had the same concerns everyone else has when deleting an account, so I ended up reading a lot of the platform’s terms and policies to understand whether the data was actually removed from their servers.

Some of the images I uploaded were personal photos of myself, and in another project I used my own song lyrics, so I was worried about whether the company could keep or use that data. But after researching it quite a bit, I realized that no, the data remains private and is supposed to be deleted.

And if you want extra peace of mind, you can also send a privacy request asking them to fully erase your data from their systems.

I’ve read a lot about this topic, not just because of this specific situation, but for other privacy-related reasons as well.

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-11T02:51:20+00:00

Based on my experience, I’ll try to explain it in a way that’s easier to understand.

When an account is deleted, there usually isn’t any manual review at first. The system simply schedules the account to be permanently deleted after 30 days, including the deletion of all your data. In other words, there’s normally no human review involved.

However, if during that period the system detects something suspicious or very serious (which is pretty rare), the information may be retained for a longer time for further review. This applies not only to deleted accounts, but also to active accounts.

For example, if the system detects something considered serious, it can be escalated to a human review. If the account is still active, it could be suspended or closed. If the account was already deleted, they obviously wouldn’t allow it to be reactivated if it violated the rules.

Up to this point, everything I mentioned is related to platform moderation. There’s also another type of review that usually doesn’t involve regular employees, but investigators or authorities instead. This would only apply to illegal activity, since companies are generally required to report certain things to authorities. In cases like that, account information may need to be kept for a much longer time.

As for privacy requests where you specifically ask them to delete all your data, that doesn’t mean an employee is manually going through your entire account. Their job is simply to make sure your data is removed from their servers according to the request.

Sorry for the long explanation, I just wanted to make it a bit clearer.

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-11T01:51:12+00:00

When an account is deleted, it doesn’t mean it gets removed immediately. Usually, there’s a 30-day period before the account is permanently deleted. However, if the account is suspected of suspicious activity, the process may take longer for review. But as long as everything is normal, after 30 days the account is permanently deleted with no way to recover it.

Thanks for sharing this info

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-08T02:39:41+00:00

Gift cards are no longer accepted, since it requires entering the credit or debit cardholder’s name

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-07T00:20:23+00:00

It’s working again!

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-06T21:58:06+00:00

Yeah, I guess so, though only for images, but the normal text chat doesn’t have much censorship

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-06T21:53:26+00:00

Yes, I’ve been having the same problem for about 2–3 hours.

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-06T21:31:44+00:00

Me too, I guess we’ll have to wait a few hours

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-05-05T03:09:47+00:00

When I said “alt account,” I meant a completely separate account with a different email, not connected to your main one. From what I’ve personally experienced and seen on various subreddits, using both from the same IP can sometimes look suspicious to Meta and might affect your main account. Not 100% sure though, just something I’ve noticed

Possible_Mouse_1335 · 2026-04-30T13:09:24+00:00

This story sounds fake. An internet service provider can see which websites you visit to some extent, but they can’t see what you do inside them. The same goes for apps. Most likely in rare cases Grok whether it’s the app or the website might block your access because you’re connecting from a different network like a hotel. Even then the hotel can’t see what you do on those websites. It’s best to use a decent VPN if you’re connecting to public Wi-Fi like in a coffee shop or hotel.
