The privacy watchdog is not AGCOM

This feels like a false flag being pressured by corporate interests.

Government agency focused on citizen privacy suddenly hit by a corruption probe with no accusations or specifics.

What would corruption even mean in this case? They're being bribed to…point out Grok's deepfake porn? Warning about the dangers of AI? Fine companies for harming or misleading users?

If so, let's get some more of that corruption!
