  "textContent": "PARIS, July 21, 2025 (AP) — **Elon Musk** 's social media platform X on Monday denied accusations from French prosecutors of alleged data tampering and fraud, calling them politically motivated.\n\nX was responding to an announcement earlier this month from the Paris prosecutor’s office, which said it was opening an investigation into the two alleged offenses.\n\nBoth offenses involved an \"automated data processing system,\" according to prosecutors, who provided scant details of the alleged wrongdoing. They are potentially punishable in France with a jail term of up to 10 years.\n\nThe platform said French authorities were carrying out a \"politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged ‘fraudulent data extraction’.”\n\n\n\n_****There's a whole community behind your FREE membership...****_\n\n There's a whole community behind your FREE membership... \n\n“X categorically denies these allegations,” it said in a post from its Global Government Affairs account.\n\nThe prosecutor’s office has said it acted on information that two people provided in January to its cybercrimes unit. One of them is a member of parliament, and the other is a senior official in a French government institution. It didn’t identify them or the institution.\n\nProsecutors said the two people alleged suspected use of X’s algorithm for the “purposes of foreign interference,” without providing details.\n\nThe platform said it “remains in the dark” about the the specific allegations. “However, based on what we know so far, X believes that this investigation is distorting French law in order to serve a political agenda and, ultimately, restrict free speech.”\n\nThe Paris prosecutor’s office said Monday that it has asked X to grant police investigators access to its algorithm, as part of the probe.\n\nThe request was made in a letter last week, it said. It said that “investigators are bound by confidentiality and that only those in charge of the investigation will have access.”\n\nThe office said it hasn’t had a formal response from X.",
