X Offices Raided in France Amidst Growing Scrutiny of Tech Platforms and Immigration Policies
French authorities raided the offices of X, formerly known as Twitter, in France as part of an investigation into suspected offenses, including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography, according to the BBC. The Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit conducted the raid. Elon Musk, the owner of X, and former CEO Linda Yaccarino were summoned to appear at hearings in April, the prosecutor's office stated. Musk responded to the raid on X, calling it a "political attack."
Separately, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) announced a probe into Musk's AI tool, Grok, over its "potential to produce harmful sexualised image and video content," according to the BBC.
These actions occurred against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny of immigration policies and human rights issues. A new report indicated a "democratic recession" globally, with a large portion of the world's population living under autocratic rule, according to The Guardian. The report highlighted abuses in countries including the US, Russia, and China, asserting they threaten the global rules-based order.
In the United States, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's decision to strip temporary protected status from up to 350,000 Haitians, The Guardian reported. Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary stay preventing Kristi Noem, the US homeland security secretary, from implementing the decision to remove the protected status, which allows Haitians to legally live and work in the United States.
Adding to the complexities surrounding immigration, a right-wing Brazilian influencer, Júnior Pena, who defended Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, was arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey, according to The Guardian. Pena, whose full name is Eustáquio da Silva Pena Júnior, had declared his support for Trump in a video message and falsely claimed that migrants being rounded up were all criminals. He has reportedly lived in the US since 2009.
These events highlight ongoing tensions surrounding technology regulation, human rights, and immigration policies across the globe.
