Elon Musk’s X Corp sues New York over law requiring disclosure on hate speech, extremism

Elon Musk’s X Corp sued New York on Tuesday, challenging the constitutionality of a state law requiring social media companies to disclose how they monitor hate speech, extremism, disinformation, harassment and foreign political interference.

In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, X said New York’s law subjects it to lawsuits and potentially large fines unless it discloses “highly sensitive and controversial speech” that the First Amendment protects and the state may dislike.
