A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, against the non-profit Center for Countering Digital Hate. The lawsuit alleged that the center's researchers violated X's terms of service by compiling public tweets and publishing reports on the rise of hate speech, which allegedly led to financial losses for X.
U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer dismissed the suit, stating that it was primarily an attempt to punish the nonprofit for its speech and that X failed to demonstrate how the alleged data scraping resulted in financial harm.
