Republicans Grill Netflix Over 'Woke' Content; X Office Raided in France Amidst Content Probe
Washington D.C. – Netflix faced scrutiny from Republican lawmakers, while X (formerly Twitter) encountered legal challenges in France, highlighting ongoing debates about content regulation and corporate responsibility.
A Republican senator accused Netflix of creating the "wokest content in the history of the world," during a congressional hearing, according to The Verge. The hearing, held before the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights, saw Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos questioned about the streaming service's programming choices.
Meanwhile, in France, law enforcement authorities raided X's Paris office as part of an investigation into illegal content, Ars Technica reported. Elon Musk was also summoned for questioning. The Paris public prosecutors office stated the yearlong probe recently expanded due to the Grok chatbot disseminating Holocaust-denial claims and sexually explicit deepfakes. Europol is assisting French authorities in the investigation, which concerns a range of suspected criminal offenses linked to the platform's functioning and use, including the dissemination of illegal content and other forms of online criminal activity, according to Ars Technica. Europol's cybercrime center provided an analyst on the ground.
