- The French investigation concerns alleged complicity in possessing and spreading child sex abuse material, sexually explicit deepfakes, denial of crimes against humanity, and manipulation of automated data processing systems on the platform.
- The summons follows a search at X's French offices and an ongoing probe by the Paris prosecutor's cybercrime unit, aiming to ensure the platform's compliance with French law.
- The US Department of Justice has reportedly declined to assist French authorities, accusing them of using the criminal legal system to interfere with an American business and free expression.
- Separately, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has lodged a new complaint against X, alleging the platform's policies allow disinformation to proliferate, violating the public's right to reliable information.
