Elon Musk aims to block a California law requiring detailed transparency in content moderation, claiming it infringes on First Amendment rights and forces platforms to justify judgment calls.
The law in question, AB-587, mandates social media platforms like X to disclose how they moderate hate speech, radicalization, misinformation, and more, potentially increasing transparency and accountability.
X's lawsuit argues that the law could lead companies to remove constitutionally protected speech the state deems undesirable and outlines concerns about user speech impact and editorial judgment interference.
Failure to comply with the law could result in heavy fines of up to $15,000 per violation, creating significant financial implications for non-compliant companies.
