"French police have raided X's offices in Paris and summoned its chairman, Elon Musk, to testify, in an escalation of a multifaceted investigation into the social media platform's data use, deepfake porn generation, and other allegations of wrongdoing. Cybercrime investigators in France have been probing the company for over a year, with authorities looking into the company for allegations of abuse of algorithms under Musk and fraudulent data extraction."
"The investigation has expanded in recent months, Paris's chief prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement on Tuesday. Recently, the investigation has expanded to include allegations of the possession of child sexual abuse material, after X's AI bot, Grok, generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images over the course of 11 days last month, including 23,000 that appeared to depict children."
French police raided X's Paris offices and summoned Elon Musk to testify as part of a broad probe into data use, alleged algorithm abuse, fraudulent data extraction, and deepfake pornography. Cybercrime investigators have been probing the company for over a year. Prosecutors expanded the inquiry to include alleged possession of child sexual abuse material after X's AI bot Grok produced an estimated 3 million sexualized images over 11 days, including roughly 23,000 that appeared to depict children. Authorities also allege the platform allows ad targeting based on highly sensitive personal data and that Grok spread Holocaust denial. X called the allegations baseless.
