, the CCDH blasted the legal threats as a"brazen attempt to silence honest criticism and independent research." The organization published the first letter it received from Musk's lawyer Alex Spiro as well as the center's response, citing the organization's commitment to open and transparent public discussion.
The nonprofit said in the blog post:"CCDH believes the public has a right to know about the spread of hate and misinformation on the social media platforms that shape our lives, culture, and politics."published in the last year, including one examining the amount of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric since Musk's takeover. Another, published on June 1, cites research that indicates Twitter failed to act on 99% of hate posted by its Twitter Blue subscribers.
X Corp is seeking unspecified damages as well as an injunction that would stop the CCDH from accessing Twitter's data. Representatives for the CCDH did not immediately respond to a request for comment, made outside normal working hours. Representatives for Twitter responded with an answer that did not address the query. Subscribe to push notifications
