X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, threatened this month to sue a nonprofit that tracks hate speech online, after the group posted scathing findings in June claiming Elon Musk “simply doesn’t care about the civil and human rights of black people, Jews, Muslims and LGBTQ+ people.”
The social network warned the Center for Countering Digital Hate on 20 July that legal action could be coming in response to the group’s “troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically,” according to The New York Times, which reported the news.
