French authorities have launched a sweeping cybercrime investigation into X, intensifying scrutiny over AI systems, platform algorithms and the spread of harmful digital content. The French national cyber unit has stormed X’s offices in Paris as part of an expanding probe examining algorithmic practices, content recommendation systems, and alleged failures in content moderation. At the center of the investigation is a widening legal file involving Grok AI, image rights violations, deepfake content and concerns over the circulation of sexually explicit and exploitative imagery. Prosecutors are now examining whether platform systems enabled the distribution of illegal digital material, including AI-generated content that may violate French and EU image protection laws.
