French Prosecutors Raid X Offices, Summon Elon Musk Amid Investigation
Parisian prosecutors raided the offices of social media platform X on Tuesday as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations including the dissemination of child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. The cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutors office, along with the French national cyber unit and European Union police agency Europol, conducted the search, according to Time. Prosecutors also summoned X owner Elon Musk to appear for questioning in April.
The investigation focuses on suspected abuse of algorithms and concerns over posts generated by the platform's AI chatbot, Grok, Time reported. Chief Prosecutor Laure Beccuau stated that the search aimed to ensure X's compliance with French law, particularly regarding Grok, designed by xAI, which she said has led to the dissemination of illegal content.
X and Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI also face intensifying scrutiny from Britain's data privacy regulator, which opened formal investigations into how they handled personal data when they developed and deployed Musk's artificial intelligence, NPR News reported.
