X illegally obtained data and manipulated algorithms? The platform denies

Social platform X rejects the accusations of the French authorities, which accuse Elona Musk's company, illegal acquisition of user data and manipulating algorithms with their help – said the company on Monday. She informed that she did not agree to the demands of French investigators.

“The French authorities apply for access to the algorithm of the proposing (suggestions to users) and current data about all user posts on the platform in such a way that” experts “analyze the data and allegedly” discovered the truth “about the operations of platform X” – the company wrote and emphasized that he does not agree with the demands, because he has the right to this.

In July, an investigation was initiated to explain whether X broke the French law by changing its algorithms and unfair acquisition of user data. The investigation is a consequence of the investigation started in January, resulting from the parliamentarian's complaint and the high -ranking civil service official.

According to deputy Eric Bothorel, the X has “reduced the variety of voices and opinions”, and the platform is becoming further from “guaranteeing a safe environment and guaranteeing respect for everyone.” He also pointed to “the lack of clarity as to the criteria leading to the change of algorithm and moderation decisions” and “Personal interventions of Elon Musk”, the owner of the platform.

The European Commission has been conducting an independent investigation for almost two years to see if X has broken EU regulations regarding digital platforms (DSA). It comes, among others about disseminating false information. In January, the investigation also covered algorithms when the Muska platform organized and made available an interview with the far -right leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party Alice Weidel.
