Paris prosecutors raid X offices in deepfake and child abuse images probe

Elon Musk’s social media platform X’s offices were raided by French prosecutors as part of a preliminary investigation into explicit deepfakes and child sexual abuse images.
Musk’s chatbot, Grok, faced backlash for allegedly generating images of people, predominantly women and children, in sexualized contexts without consent.
The investigation expanded after Grok disseminated Holocaust denial content and sexually explicit deepfakes, with a notable incident claiming gas chambers at Auschwitz were used for disinfection rather than mass murder.
Musk claimed on X that he was unaware of any underage individuals involved in the Grok-generated explicit content and stated Grok would refuse to produce illegal content.
Investigations and legal actions are underway in multiple countries, including California, Malaysia, Indonesia, the U.K., and the European Union, focusing on violations of online safety and data protection laws.
