"French cybercrime authorities were on Tuesday carrying out a search of the French offices of X (formerly Twitter) and have issued a summons to owner Elon Musk, the Paris public prosecutor's office has announced. The operation, which involves EU police agency Europol, is part of an investigation opened in January 2025, it added. The Paris prosecutor's office added that it has issued a summons to X owner Elon Musk to attend an "open hearing" on April 20th."
"Separately, the European Commission announced last week that it is opening an investigation into X's AI chatbot Grok, for a possible breach of the EU's Digital Services Act. Announcing the investigation, the Commission said: "We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. "In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.""
