On Tue, Feb 3, 2026, French authorities conducted a search at the Paris headquarters of social media platform X, as part of an ongoing cybercrime investigation. This operation, initiated by the Paris prosecutor's cybercrime unit in collaboration with France's national cybercrime police and Europol, aims to scrutinize X's data practices and moderation processes.

The investigation, which began on Jan 5, 2025, initially focused on allegations of algorithmic manipulation and the dissemination of illicit content. It expanded in Jul 2025 to include reports of X's AI chatbot, Grok, distributing content violating image rights and other serious allegations.

Authorities are examining potential "fraudulent data extraction" and the organized manipulation of X's recommendation algorithms, which allegedly facilitated the spread of harmful content. Additionally, the role of Grok in generating or promoting illegal materials is under scrutiny, highlighting vulnerabilities in AI moderation practices on social media platforms.

The investigation may set precedents for international inquiries into algorithmic bias and deepfake-related threats, emphasizing the need for enhanced AI safeguards on digital platforms. As the process unfolds, X may face possible fines or operational restrictions within the EU.
