X tells the French police 'non' to algorithm data demands
Briefly

X has declined to provide any information to French authorities regarding an investigation into its recommendation algorithms, which is claimed to be politically motivated. French prosecutors are demanding details on the structure of X's algorithms and user behavior. X has categorically denied accusations of manipulation and fraudulent data extraction, asserting its legal rights against complying with the authorities. Concerns have been raised about the impartiality of those involved in the investigation, which X argues could lead to a biased outcome.
French authorities have launched a politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged 'fraudulent data extraction.' X categorically denies these allegations.
X has not acceded to the French authorities' demands, as we have a legal right to do. This is not a decision that X takes lightly. However, in this case, the facts speak for themselves.
The involvement of these individuals raises serious concerns about the impartiality, fairness, and political motivations of the investigation, to put it charitably. A predetermined outcome is not a fair one.
