The Paris public prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into Elon Musk's X social media platform, alleging algorithmic bias. The probe focuses on suspicion of tampering with automated data processing systems and fraudulent data extraction. This comes after reports from a member of parliament and a senior official of a French institution in January 2025 raised concerns about the use of X's algorithm for foreign interference.

The move is part of Turkey's efforts to regulate digital content deemed inappropriate. Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu stated that while Grok hasn't been completely banned, more restrictions may be implemented if necessary. Turkish authorities plan to discuss the issue with platform X representatives. xAI has removed problematic content and promised to retrain Grok to prevent similar occurrences.

YouTube's Editorial Head Rene Ritchie stated that repetitive or duplicated content has not been eligible for monetization for years, as audiences often consider it spam. The issue is exacerbated by the development of generative AI, which can create low-quality content such as overlaid photos or videos with AI-generated voices as commentators, potentially containing hoaxes.
