French police raided X's Paris office amid ongoing investigations into Grok's content and data practices.Summary
Paris prosecutors, with Europol and French police, raided X’s Paris office as part of an expanding investigation that now includes Grok. This probe looks into allegations such as complicity in distributing child pornography and denying crimes against humanity, alongside claims of algorithm manipulation and illegal data extraction. Separately, the UK's Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) launched a formal investigation into X and xAI regarding Grok's potential to generate harmful sexualized content. These actions follow the proliferation of nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes generated by Grok across the X platform. Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino have also been summoned for hearings in April.
