From the show
This past week the Paris prosecuter's cyber crime unit raided the offices of X, formerly known as Twitter. It's part of an investigation into a range of alleged offences, including spreading deepfakes and child pornography. Elon Musk and the company's CEO have been called for "voluntary interviews" on April 20th. We speak to Jean Cattan, co-director of the Future of Technology Institute about what's driving France's hardline stance on social media companies.
Also in this edition:
French state prosecutors ask appeal court judges to maintain a five-year election ban on the far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
And what does the future hold for former French culture minister Jack Lang? The current President of the Arab World Institute appears numerous times in the so-called Epstein files, as does his daughter. Both now find themselves under investigation by the financial prosecutor's office for aggravated tax fraud and money laundering.
