Under Scrutiny: Elon Musk's Social Media Platform Faces Legal Challenges
French prosecutors have raided offices of Elon Musk's social media platform X amid investigations into alleged misuse of algorithms and data extraction. Britain's watchdog has also launched a probe into Musk's AI chatbot Grok for potential data privacy breaches and non-consensual, explicit content creation.
Authorities in France have intensified a probe into Elon Musk's social media network, X, executing a raid and summoning the tech giant for questioning. The investigation stems from allegations of algorithm misuse and fraudulent data activities.
Concurrently, Britain's Information Commissioner's Office has initiated its own inquiry into Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, for potentially producing harmful, non-consensual images, thus raising data privacy concerns.
The expanding scrutiny highlights growing tensions between European regulators and the U.S. tech sector, reflecting broader issues around the spread of sexually explicit deepfakes and regulatory compliance.
