‘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~

All Out War With Putin: Trump Sends 3,350 HUGE Missiles To Ukraine Warns Russia Dangerous Escalation

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II. #UkraineWar #CruiseMissiles #USEscalation #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileDeal #USUkraine #NATO #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid #UkraineNews #Pentagon #UkraineDefense #UkraineCrisis #RussiaWar #TrumpNews #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineMilitary #Geopolitics #WarUpdate ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Putin MOCKS Western Sanctions |Claims Russia Still Working With Western Scientists Despite Sanctions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Moscow continues scientific cooperation with Western experts despite heavy sanctions and political isolation. Speaking in Sarov, Russia’s nuclear hub, Putin insisted that science, like art and sports, cannot be destroyed by politics. He revealed that joint projects persist in nuclear, space, and medical research, even with some NATO states, while new ventures in nuclear medicine are emerging. According to Putin, Russia lost Finland as a partner but continues work with France, Germany, and Hungary through Rosatom. He stressed that Russia still supplies nuclear fuel and services to “unfriendly” countries, hinting that departing partners may eventually return. Putin also warned the West that restricting academic and scientific ties will inflict long-term damage. Despite sanctions, Russia and the U.S. recently extended collaboration on the International Space Station and discussed future lunar and deep-space missions. #Putin #Russia #Science #Sanctions #Research #Nuclear #Space #ISS #NASA #Rosatom #Innovation #Technology #Education #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #Unity #Europe #Cooperation #GlobalScience #Future ~HT.410~ED.102~
