Macron Blasts Social Media’s Free Speech Defense
Macron warns that unknown social media algorithms risk democratic bias and urges regulatory scrutiny amid EU probes and concerns over AI-generated illegal content.
- On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron criticized social media companies' free-speech defense as `pure bullshit`, saying platforms lack understanding of their algorithms.
- As part of DSA enforcement, the European Commission opened a January probe into X's AI chatbot Grok, while French authorities raided X's Paris offices in early February over alleged algorithm manipulation and illegal content.
- Calling for algorithm transparency, Macron outlined penalties and society mobilization, including schools and the justice system, to enforce ineligibility for anti-Semitic and racist acts.
- Macron's remarks and regulatory push have put him on a collision course with the Trump administration, raising risks of transatlantic tension, as critics like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Elon Musk have sharply condemned EU tech regulation.
- National probes and court orders suggest broader enforcement and research access ahead as a German court ordered X to provide data linked to Hungary's April 12 election.
