Multiple Investigations Launched into X, Formerly Twitter, Amidst Raids and AI Concerns

X, formerly known as Twitter, is facing mounting scrutiny on both sides of the English Channel, with French offices raided and a new UK investigation launched into its AI tool, Grok. The Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit raided X's offices in France as part of an investigation into suspected offenses, including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography, according to BBC Technology.

The prosecutor's office stated that both Elon Musk, the owner of X, and former CEO Linda Yaccarino have been summoned to appear at hearings in April. Musk responded to the raid on X, stating on the platform that it was a "political attack," according to BBC Technology. The company released a statement regarding the raid as well.

Separately, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) announced an investigation into Grok, Musk's AI tool, due to its "potential to produce harmful sexualised image and video content," according to BBC Technology. The ICO is concerned about the AI's capabilities and the potential risks associated with its use.
