Elon Musks French Offices Raided in Child Pornography Investigation X Offices ALSO Raided in UK Who Opens Investigation into Grok
X offices raided in France as prosecutors investigate child abuse images and deepfakes AP 12 FEB 2026 ![]() French prosecutors raided the offices of social media platform X on Tuesday as part of a preliminary investigation into allegations that include spreading child sexual abuse images and deepfakes. They have also summoned billionaire owner Elon Musk for questioning. X and Musks artificial intelligence company xAI also face intensifying scrutiny from Britains data privacy regulator, which opened formal investigations into how they handled personal data when they developed and deployed Musks artificial intelligence chatbot Grok. Grok, which was built by xAI and is available through X, sparked global outrage last month after it pumped out a torrent of sexualized nonconsensual deepfake images in response to requests from X users. The French investigation was opened in January last year by the prosecutors cybercrime unit, the Paris prosecutors office said in a statement. Its looking into alleged complicity in possessing and spreading pornographic images of minors, sexually explicit deepfakes, denial of crimes against humanity and manipulation of an automated data processing syste X Offices Raided as UK Opens Fresh Investigation Into Grok UKs Information Commissioners Office announced a probe into Musks AI tool, Grok, over its potential to produce harmful sexualised image and video content. Writing on X, Musk said the raid was a political attack X also denied any wrongdoing and said the raid endangers free speech. The investigation began in January 2025 when French prosecutors started looking into content recommended by Xs algorithm, before being widened in July that year to include Musks controversial AI chatbot, Grok. Yaccarino also took to X to accuse French prosecutors of carrying out a political vendetta against Americans. Following Tuesday's raid, French prosecutors say they are now investigating whether X has broken the law across multiple areas. Among potential crimes it said it would investigate were complicity in possession or organised distribution of CSAM, infringement of people's image rights with sexual deepfakes and fraudulent data extraction by an organised group. New UK investigation Meanwhile, UK authorities have given an update on their investigations into sexual deepfakes created by Grok and shared on X. ![]() ![]() The images often made using real images of women without their consent prompted a barrage of criticism in January from victims, online safety campaigners and politicians. The company eventually intervened to prevent the practice, after Ofcom and others launched investigations. In an update on Tuesday, Ofcom said it was continuing to investigate the platform and was treating it as a matter of urgency But it added it was currently unable to investigate the creation of illegal images by Grok in this case because it did not have sufficient powers relating to chatbots. However, shortly afterwards the ICO said it was launching its own probe, external, in conjunction with Ofcom, into the processing of personal data in relation to the Grok.
