About this episode

Tom Uren and James Wilson discuss the implications of Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino's absence from a French investigation into X's content policies.

Tom Uren and James Wilson talk about the French criminal investigation into bias and illegal content on X. Elon Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino didn’t appear for voluntary interviews scheduled this week, but refusing meetings won’t make X’s problems go away. European countries are concerned about X’s influence and regulators will be exploring all other options beyond criminal investigations. They also discuss the fight to renew authorisation of Section 702 collection. It’s a valuable intelligence source, but in the past the FBI pointlessly overused it.
