Summary

French prosecutors have launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over allegations that it manipulated its algorithms to distort discourse.

The probe follows a report from a French lawmaker, citing “biased algorithms” that may have interfered with automated data processing.

Meanwhile, the EU is also investigating X for potential violations of the Digital Services Act, demanding internal algorithm documents by Feb. 15.

X has faced criticism for allegedly amplifying far-right content, with Musk publicly supporting Germany’s far-right AfD party.

        I think we speak for all of Europe when we say the end times have come when we say we need the French.

        Oh fuck, isn’t there something in the bible about this sort of thing heralding the end times? “The frogs and the posh shall lay down together” or something?
