Legal arguments were exchanged in court as X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, took legal action against a research organization for documenting an increase in hate speech on the platform since its acquisition by Elon Musk. X alleges that the non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate violated its terms of service by compiling public tweets improperly, leading to a loss of advertisers.
During the court session, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer expressed skepticism towards X's claims, questioning how reporting on publicly available information could breach platform rules. The case has drawn attention from social media researchers interested in its implications on public discourse.
