TECH - Can Elon Musk Sue Over Criticism? Judge Doubts X's Case Against Hate Speech Watchdog | Benzinga
A U.S. judge has indicated that Elon Musk‘s X may not succeed in its lawsuit against a non-profit organization that has been critical of the surge in hate speech on the social media platform.
What Happened: U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer suggested that he might dismiss X, formerly Twitter’s, lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate or CCDH, a non-profit that has been vocal about the increase in hate speech on the platform since Musk’s acquisition of the platform, reported Reuters.
The lawsuit, filed by X in July, alleges that the non-profit caused substantial financial harm through a “scare campaign” aimed at driving away advertisers. X claims that the non-profit violated its user contract by improperly collecting and manipulating data to create false and misleading reports about the platform’s content.
