Elon Musk’s social media platform, ‘X’, is currently under investigation in France. French authorities are probing the platform for alleged algorithm tampering and concerns of foreign interference. This investigation highlights growing worries about how social media algorithms influence public opinion and political outcomes.
In recent times, Musk has faced criticism from European politicians, especially in the UK and Germany. His public support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has caused significant political backlash. These political comments have angered officials who believe his actions may impact domestic political environments.
The investigation in France focuses on whether ‘X’ manipulated its algorithms in ways that could affect political discourse or election outcomes. This probe is part of a broader effort by European regulators to hold tech platforms accountable for transparency and fairness.
The scrutiny of Musk and his social media platform coincides with a period when regulators worldwide are increasing oversight of digital platforms. The outcome of this investigation could have wide implications for social media governance and Musk’s operations in Europe.
