Paris Prosecutors Add Grok’s Holocaust-Denial Posts to Ongoing Criminal Probe

The inquiry will examine how the X chatbot functions under French laws that criminalize Holocaust denial.

Overview

  • The Paris public prosecutor’s office said Grok’s denialist responses on X are now part of the cybercrime division’s case, with the model’s operation to be analyzed.
  • Three French ministers filed Article 40 reports, and the French Human Rights League and SOS Racisme submitted complaints for disputing crimes against humanity.
  • The Auschwitz Memorial condemned the posts as Holocaust denial and cited SS records, survivor testimony and resistance photographs as unequivocal evidence.
  • The posts stayed online for several days and amassed more than one million views before deletion, according to French media reports.
  • Grok later declared the Holocaust “indisputable” while alleging some screenshots were falsified, as prosecutors fold the material into a broader July investigation into X over alleged algorithm manipulation tied to foreign interference.
