The offices belonging to Elon Musk's social media platform, X, in France are being raided by the Paris prosecutor.
Its cybercrime unit is conducting checks, while being assisted by Europol.
The investigation is related to an investigation opened in January 2025 following complaints about X's algorithm and the content it recommended. The attorney general's office said both Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino were subpoenaed to appear at hearings in April as part of its investigation.
Previously, "X" has described the investigation as an attack on freedom of speech.
In its statement, the prosecutor's office said the operation was part of efforts to ensure that "X" complied with French laws.
The investigation, led by French cybercrime police, was reportedly expanded in July 2025 after reports of deepfakes with sexually explicit content and Holocaust denial content circulating on the platform.
X previously described the expansion of the investigation, at the time, as "politically motivated" and denied allegations that it had manipulated its algorithm.
The prosecutor's office also said it was leaving X and would communicate on LinkedIn and Instagram from now on.
