"An investigation led by the French authorities is currently underway concerning the online platform X, in relation to the proliferation of illegal content, notably the production of deepfakes, child sexual abuse material, and content contesting crimes against humanity. The investigation is conducted by the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office with the support of the French Gendarrierie's cybercrime unit (UNCyber) and Europol."
"Police, Europol says, carried out "investigative measures" within X's offices in relation to a range of suspected criminal offences" linked to the functioning and usage of the platform, including the dissemination of illegal content and other forms of online criminal activity. The findings of the case won't be known for some time, but it could lead to significant penalties for the business, and even criminal charges for X's ownership."
French and European authorities have launched an investigation into platform X over the proliferation of illegal content, including deepfakes, child sexual abuse material, and content contesting crimes against humanity. The Paris Public Prosecutor's Office is leading the probe with support from the French Gendarmerie's cybercrime unit (UNCyber) and Europol. Police executed investigative measures at X's offices linked to suspected criminal offences arising from platform functioning and usage. The inquiry could take time and might result in substantial fines for the company or criminal charges against X's ownership. X owner Elon Musk reiterated past opposition, alleging political motivation and EU censorship and not directly commenting on the raid. X was previously fined US$140 million by the EU Commission in December.
