Elon Musk ’s social media platform Twitter (Now known as X) is now in deep trouble. The French prosecutors have escalated the criminal investigation of Elon Musk’s social media platform X. The prosecutors have formally enlisted police to probe allegations of algorithmic manipulation and unlawful data extraction. This move signals a deepening of concerns from French authorities regarding the platform's content moderation practices.
Investigation on Elon Musk’s social media platform X
As reported by Reuters, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced that the law enforcement will now investigate X “as both a legal entity and through individual persons,” following preliminary findings from researchers and public institutions. The inquiry, which began in January, stems from complaints by a French lawmaker and a senior government official who accused X of enabling “foreign interference” through its algorithms.
The Paris prosecutor's office had opened a preliminary investigation into X earlier this year, following numerous complaints and concerns raised by various organizations and individuals about the proliferation of problematic content on the platform. The decision to bring in the police suggests that these initial inquiries have uncovered sufficient grounds to warrant a more formal and detailed examination.
This escalation comes amid broader European scrutiny of X’s operations. The platform has faced backlash for antisemitic and racist content generated by its AI chatbot Grok, prompting calls for tighter regulation from lawmakers and digital watchdogs. X has not publicly responded to the latest developments.
