French authorities, supported by Europol, raided X’s Paris office amid an ongoing investigation (launched in 2025) into alleged fraudulent data extraction by an organized group, which has expanded to potential complicity in distributing child sexual abuse material, privacy violations, and Holocaust denial. The action follows criticism that X’s Grok AI was used to generate nonconsensual abusive imagery; Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino were summoned for questioning. Prosecutors stated the goal is to ensure X’s compliance with French law.
