Elon Musk, in an interview, discussed his commitment to fighting censorship after acquiring Twitter, now X Corp. X Corp. has filed a lawsuit against New York's Stop Hiding Hate Act, claiming it violates constitutional rights. The Act requires social media platforms to report on hate speech and misinformation moderation practices. X Corp. asserts that such reporting requirements infringe upon free speech and wrongly involve the government in content moderation decisions, igniting legal debates on where to draw boundaries on speech in digital platforms.
The law requires social media companies to submit reports on content moderation practices twice a year, particularly on how it handles hate speech, extremism, disinformation or misinformation, harassment, and foreign political interference.
Musk told Lemon he made it his mission to fight such controls and preserve freedom of speech in America, and he's taken his case to courts across the U.S. and world.
This is not a role that the government may play. Deciding what content should appear on a social media platform is a question that engenders considerable debate among reasonable people.
X Corp. argues that such reports are an impermissible attempt by New York to inject itself into the content-moderation editorial process.
