French Authorities Raid X Office Following Cybercrime Allegations

French authorities, supported by national cybercrime police and Europol, raided X's Paris offices as part of a preliminary investigation into alleged algorithmic manipulation, fraudulent data extraction, and dissemination of illegal content — including claims that X’s AI Grok generated Holocaust denial and sexually explicit deepfakes and that the platform retained or distributed child exploitation imagery — with potential legal consequences and broader regulatory implications across the EU.
