DOJ refuses to help French authorities in criminal probe of X
The US Department of Justice has refused to assist French authorities in a criminal probe against X, citing concerns that the investigation is an attempt to regulate the social media platform through prosecution. France's investigation into X, which began in July, includes accusations of algorithm manipulation, fraudulent data extraction, and potentially CSAM dissemination and Holocaust denial. X and xAI expressed gratitude for the DOJ's decision, calling the investigation baseless.
