‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias [Video]

‘X Is Threat To…’ France Launches CRIMINAL PROBE Into Musk’s X Over Hate Speech And Algorithm Bias

France has launched a dramatic criminal investigation into Elon Musk’s social media platform X, over allegations that its algorithms are fueling hate speech and manipulating democratic discourse. Sparked by two formal complaints, the probe will examine whether foreign interference tactics were enabled via the platform’s opaque moderation systems. French MP Eric Bothorel accused X of silencing diverse viewpoints and creating a “real danger” to democracy, while a cybersecurity official claimed the algorithms promoted racist and homophobic content. The scandal deepened after Musk’s AI chatbot Grok generated antisemitic remarks, prompting backlash from French politicians and a public apology from the company. The French prosecutor confirmed executives at X could be held liable. Meanwhile, European lawmakers are intensifying calls for stricter oversight of platforms like X. Musk’s prior endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD has only added fuel to the fire, raising global concerns over tech giants' unchecked influence on democratic processes. #France #ElonMusk #XPlatform #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #AI #Grok #Misinformation #AlgorithmBias #TechNews #Macron #Cybersecurity #AfD #EuropeanPolitics #SocialMedia #MuskAI #DigitalRegulation #MediaManipulation #DemocracyThreat #Disinformation Also Read Linda Yaccarino Resigns As CEO Of X After Two Transformative Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/linda-yaccarino-resigns-as-ceo-of-x-after-two-transformative-years-7796371.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk’s Starlink Cleared To Operate In India, Services To Begin Soon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-s-starlink-cleared-to-operate-in-india-services-to-begin-soon-7796229.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

Europe OPPOSES Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan With Putin | Zelensky SLAMS Proposal to Swap Territory

Just days before Donald Trump’s planned high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin, European allies have thrown a wrench into his peace plan. Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland, and the EU issued a joint statement insisting that any talks with Russia must involve Ukraine’s leadership. President Zelensky has rejected Trump’s suggestion of possible territorial swaps, calling any deal made without Ukraine “dead decisions.” With Putin still refusing direct talks with Kyiv, tensions rise as the White House faces backlash over reports of concessions on Crimea and Donbas. #Trump #Putin #Zelensky #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #EUAllies #NoDealWithoutUkraine #Donbas #Crimea #EuropePolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #WarInUkraine #InternationalRelations #RussiaUkraineWar #Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews #UkraineStrong #PutinTalks #UkraineRussia #BackUkraine #TrumpPutin #EUvsTrump #PeaceDeal #KyivStrong #DonbasCrimea #UkraineWarUpdate #StandWithUkraine Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Germany defies Trump, deals a BIG BLOW to Netanyahu as Israeli military struggles in the Gaza War

In a major policy shift, Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel that could be used in Gaza, citing rising civilian casualties and humanitarian concerns. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense but said Berlin could not ignore the human toll of the conflict. The move marks a rare break from U.S. alignment and reflects mounting European discontent. As the war intensifies, Germany calls for humanitarian corridors and warns against West Bank annexation, signaling a shift in global patience with Netanyahu’s strategy. #Germany #Israel #GazaWar #ArmsEmbargo #FriedrichMerz #Netanyahu #MiddleEastCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaStrip #IsraelGazaConflict #WarInGaza #StopArms #CivilianCasualties #WestBank #EUForeignPolicy #BerlinShift #GlobalPressure #GazaAid #HumanitarianCorridors #GermanyIsraelTies #NetanyahuUnderFire #IsraelUnderScrutiny #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #MiddleEastCrisis ~GR.124~HT.408~
