Donald Trump triggered nationwide outrage after launching a late-night posting spree on Truth Social, sharing more than 60 posts in just three hours. The barrage included a conspiracy video reviving discredited claims about the 2020 election and an offensive, racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama. The viral clip pushed the false narrative that Dominion Voting Systems helped steal the 2020 U.S. presidential election, a claim already dismantled in court and tied to Fox News’ historic $787.5 million defamation settlement. The video ends with a deeply offensive scene portraying the Obamas as animated monkeys dancing to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” igniting immediate condemnation online. WATCH 

French authorities have launched a sweeping cybercrime investigation into X, intensifying scrutiny over AI systems, platform algorithms and the spread of harmful digital content. The French national cyber unit has stormed X’s offices in Paris as part of an expanding probe examining algorithmic practices, content recommendation systems, and alleged failures in content moderation. At the center of the investigation is a widening legal file involving Grok AI, image rights violations, deepfake content and concerns over the circulation of sexually explicit and exploitative imagery. Prosecutors are now examining whether platform systems enabled the distribution of illegal digital material, including AI-generated content that may violate French and EU image protection laws. WATCH
