Elon Musk's company X has filed a lawsuit against New York to block a law requiring social media platforms to report on their handling of problematic posts. The law, signed by Governor Kathy Hochul, mandates disclosures about content moderation practices and definitions of hate speech, among other things. X argues that this law infringes on free speech rights and the federal law that allows them to moderate content. The state's attorney general stated they will defend the law's constitutionality, emphasizing its intention to hold social media accountable for transparency.
New York is improperly trying to inject itself into the content-moderation editorial process by requiring politically charged disclosures about it, argues X Corp.
We will stand ready to defend the constitutionality of our laws, says New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding the lawsuit filed by X.
