French prosecutors raided the Paris headquarters of Elon Musk's social media platform X. They also summoned Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino for questioning. The investigation targets alleged cybercrime including spreading child abuse images, harmful deepfake content, and data manipulation. "A search is under way by the cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office, the national police cyber unit and Europol," the Paris prosecutor’s office said on X. Musk and Yaccarino were called "in their capacity as de facto and de jure managers of the X platform at the time of the events." Yaccarino resigned as CEO in July last year. The probe began in January 2023 after MP Éric Bothorel filed a complaint. He worried that X’s algorithms were biased, distorting data and content recommendations. Bothorel also raised concern over "apparent interference in [X’s] management" since Musk bought the platform in 2022. Other complaints said recent changes caused a rise in "nauseating political content." The investigation widened after reports of X’s AI chatbot, Grok, denying the Holocaust and sharing explicit deepfakes. X called the investigation “politically motivated” and denied all allegations of algorithm tampering and fraud. The platform stated it would defend "fundamental rights, protecting user data and resisting political censorship." The company had said last summer it would not comply with French authorities' demands. The raid on Tuesday marks a major step in the ongoing probe of the controversial platform and its management under Musk.
