The investigation comes about a month after the complaint of a French deputy
The Paris Public Prosecution Service opened an investigation into the operation of the social network X, after receiving an EPR deputy report, Eric Bothorel, on January 12, denouncing biased algorithms in the operation of X.
“The algorithms are likely to have distorted the operation of an automated data processing system. Magistrates and specialized cybercriminal assistants are analyzing it and to perform the first technical checks,” said the Paris Public Prosecutor, said, quoted by the French site Franceinfo.
This Thursday, on social network X, Eric Bothorel left the warning. “I have seen several publications that mention” the authors of the distorted operation of the Stad Recommendation algorithm on social network X “. I sent a letter to the Cyber J3 prosecutor on this subject on January 12.”
I see several publications passing which evoke “the authors of the distorted operation of the recommendation algorithm of the Stad of the X network”.
I seized the Cyber J3 parquet by simple mail on this subject on January 12. 😉– Éric Bothorel (@Ebothorel)
