X denies the allegations made by French authorities against him and states that the investigation is for political purposes

According to Foresight News, X's global government affairs team tweeted that French authorities have launched a politically motivated criminal investigation into X company, accusing it of manipulating algorithms and "fraudulent data extraction". X denies these accusations. This investigation, instigated by French politician Eric Bothhorel, seriously undermines X Company's fundamental right to due process and threatens our users' privacy and freedom of speech rights. The French authorities have requested access to X's recommendation algorithm and real-time data of all user posts on the platform, in order for several experts to analyze the data and claim to uncover the truth behind X platform operations. The team stated that some experts include David Chavalarias (who led the "Escape X" movement aimed at encouraging X users to leave the platform) and Maziyar Panahi (who had previously participated in research projects openly opposing X).
