Paris Prosecutor's Office Initiates Probe

On Friday, the Paris Prosecutor's Office embarked on an investigation targeting Elon Musk's X Corporation. The inquiry focuses on allegations of algorithmic distortions that may have compromised the integrity of automated data processing systems.

Allegations of Algorithmic Distortion

According to a statement provided to franceinfo, the algorithms in question are suspected of distorting the operation of an automated data processing system. This has raised concerns about the fairness and accuracy of the system's outputs.

Technical Analysis Underway

The cybercrime department's competent authorities are currently analyzing the issue, conducting preliminary technical checks to ascertain the validity of the claims. This investigation follows a report by French lawmaker Eric Bothorel on January 12, who accused X's algorithm of being biased.
