France launches investigation against social network X
World
On January 12, the Paris prosecutor’s office launched an investigation into social network X (formerly Twitter), owned by American billionaire Elon Musk. The probe follows complaints about potential algorithmic errors that may have caused malfunctions in automated data processing, according to the prosecutor's office.
As reported by France Info, the investigation began after a complaint from Eric Bothorel, a deputy from the centrist coalition "Together for the Republic." Cybercrime specialists are already conducting preliminary technical assessments of the platform.
Since December 2023, the European Union has been investigating X under the Digital Services Act. In January, the European Commission completed its preliminary investigation and is expected to impose a multimillion-dollar fine soon.
Additionally, a German court ruled that X must provide data related to election influence monitoring.
