X offices raided in Paris, France, both Musk and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino had been summoned

What is going on? Politically motivated?

"The French offices of Elon Musk's X have been raided by the Paris prosecutor's cyber-crime unit, as part of an investigation into suspected offences including unlawful data extraction and complicity in the possession of child pornography.

The prosecutor's office also said both Musk and former X chief executive Linda Yaccarino had been summoned to appear at hearings in April.

In a separate development, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) announced a probe into Musk's AI tool, Grok, over its "potential to produce harmful sexualised image and video content." ...

The investigation began in January 2025 when French prosecutors started looking into content recommended by X's algorithm, before being widened in July that year to include Musk's controversial AI chatbot, Grok.

In a post at the time, X said the action was "politically-motivated" and denied allegations it had manipulated its algorithm.

Following today's raid, French prosecutors say they are now investigating whether X has broken the law across multiple areas. ..."

Is Bluesky fast becoming more like XTwitter by introducing advertisement!

Jay Graber is coming after Elon Musk! 😊

Let's preemptively rename Bluesky into XBluesky! 😊

Caution: satire!

"... The company has raised $15 million so far, and CEO Jay Graber tells TechCrunch she’s already getting attention from other investors. Bluesky has hinted at a few potential revenue streams, including social media subscriptions, a marketplace of algorithms, and selling domain names. While Graber has committed not to “enshittify” the platform with ads, she’s not ruling out ads altogether. ..."

Who is behind Bluesky. The CEO looks like she is from a Renaissance painting? Or does she look like Medusa? 😊

I have not followed the saga surrounding the Twitter X rebranding. However, I don't think this was Elon Musk's smartest move!

It is understandable and it makes sense to expand the functionality and capabilities of Twitter to match e.g. the Chinese WeChat, but it was not necessary to slay the blue, cute Twitter bird. Competition waits for no one to get it on!

Beware Of Twitter Research!

All About Brevity

Too keep this blog post very short I will not quote any sources here! Or may I say I try to compete here with 144 characters of a single Tweet.

Lots Of Research In Recent Times

In the recent past I have come about so many articles touting the results of research gained from all kinds of analyzing Twitter messages. I am very skeptical that much of this research is of much value. It may help to make a name and to survive publish or perish. It may impress some people.

This research in many cases can be taken with a large rock of salt!

Potential For Enormous Selection Bias

This might be too much inductive reasoning, but I believe I am not alone. I don’t use Twitter at all! Period! Full Stop! What is the point?

Is Twitter not also a medium for celebrities or wannabes of all kinds and stripes to share whatever?
