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's Paris office was raided as part of an investigation into illegal content. A Republican senator accused Netflix of creating the "wokest content in the history of the world," according to The Verge. Meanwhile, in France, authorities investigated X, formerly known as Twitter, for the dissemination of illegal content via its Grok chatbot, Ars Technica reported.
The investigation into X, which has been ongoing for a year, expanded to include the Grok chatbot due to its alleged role in spreading Holocaust denial claims and sexually explicit deepfakes, according to the Paris public prosecutors office. Europol, assisting French authorities, stated the investigation concerns suspected criminal offenses linked to the platform's functioning and use, including the dissemination of illegal content and other forms of online criminal activity. Europol's cybercrime center provided an analyst on the ground. Elon Musk was also summoned for questioning.
In the United States, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights. The Verge reported that Republicans questioned Sarandos about the streaming service's content.
These events highlight ongoing debates surrounding content moderation, freedom of speech, and corporate responsibility across various platforms.
