X Refuses to Cooperate with French Algorithm Bias Probe
X (formerly Twitter) is refusing to cooperate with a French probe into alleged foreign interference and bias, deeming the investigation politically motivated. The probe, initiated after complaints of manipulated data and “reduced diversity of voices,” involves suspected crimes like manipulating and extracting data. X has declined to provide access to its recommendation algorithm and real-time data, claiming it has a legal right to do so. The social network also raised concerns about the impartiality of the chosen experts and objected to the use of the “organized gang” aggravating circumstance.
