A U.S. judge denied xAI's request to temporarily block Minnesota's ban on 'nudify' apps, citing the company's undue delay in filing.

Summary

A U.S. District Judge has denied xAI's request for a temporary restraining order to block a new Minnesota law banning 'nudify' applications. The judge's ruling heavily emphasized xAI's delayed filing, noting the legal action was initiated just three days before the law took effect, nearly three months after it was signed. While this decision allows the law to proceed while litigation continues, xAI's underlying lawsuit—which argues the ban is overly restrictive—remains active.
