Elon Musk is threatening to sue Center for Countering Digital Hate over their work on tracking hate speech and disinformation on Twitter. Seems free speech only applies to those who say what Musk likes to hear?

New York Times: »X Corp., the parent company of the social media company, sent a letter on July 20 to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that conducts research on social media, accusing the organization of making “a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically” and threatening to sue.

The letter cited research published by the Center for Countering Digital Hate in June examining hate speech on Twitter, which Mr. Musk has renamed X.com. The research consisted of eight papers, including one that found that Twitter had taken no action against 99 percent of the 100 Twitter Blue accounts the center reported for “tweeting hate.” The letter called the research “false, misleading or both” and said the organization had used improper methodology.«

@anti_disease You can always tell that it’s a Musk joint when he throws a science word in there. Do you think he makes jazz hands after typing the y on the end of “methodology” like the magician his boyhood imagination thinks he is?

@anti_disease The CCDH response was pure gold. Paraphrasing but basically, go ahead and sue if you think you can, but remember there are penalties for frivolous lawsuits!
