Twitter filed a lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “Despite our continued progress, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and its backers have been actively working to assert false and misleading claims encouraging advertisers to pause investment on the platform. X is a free public service funded largely by advertisers. Through the CCDH’s scare campaign and its ongoing pressure on brands to prevent the public’s access to free expression, the CCDH is actively working to prevent public dialogue,” the company said in a blog post Monday.

“Musk and his legal team, led by attorney Alex Spiro at Quinn Emanuel, have engaged in an aggressive campaign to intimidate, bully, and silence CCDH,” the organization said in a statement released Monday. “While Elon Musk proclaims to be a ‘free speech absolutist,’ his actions against CCDH show the lengths he will go to silence those who seek to hold him to account.”

      Why would people who want to talk about Twitter/X even go to a community created by people who want to see less of it? We consider this Technology news.

        The name is a way of acknowledging that people are tired of hearing about him. It’s (I think; I didn’t create it) saying, for those who want to read about this asshat but without spamming other channels, not no one cares about this.

          I am also tired of him but what can I do if he keeps doing newsworthy bulshit? I’m not going to go to a community just about him, because I’m not that personally invested in him, but I also don’t think talking about current relevant events involving him is “spam”, particularly when it comes to Twitter.
