Paris Prosecutors Investigate Elon Musk's X for Alleged Algorithmic Distortions
Paris prosecutors have launched an investigation into X, the social media platform founded by Elon Musk, for alleged manipulation of its algorithms.
The investigation was announced on Friday by Franceinfo, citing the prosecutors' office. It follows accusations that X has been using algorithms to amplify certain content and suppress others.
The allegations have sparked concerns about the platform's potential to spread misinformation and influence public opinion. Regulators are also investigating whether X is complying with EU laws on transparency and accountability.
The investigation is in the early stages, and no charges have been filed against X or its executives. However, it represents a significant escalation in the scrutiny facing the platform.
