Don Lemon explains why he is quitting X
Left-leaning former CNN anchor Don Lemon said Wednesday he is quitting Elon Musk ’s social media platform X — blaming the site’s new policy for all legal disputes to be heard in Texas.
X’s new terms of service, which take effect Friday, mandate that all lawsuits be filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas – not the Western District of Texas, where the company is headquartered.Ten of the 11 active judges in the Northern District were appointed by a Republican president, compared to six of the 11 judges in the Western District, according to Georgetown University law professor Steve Vladeck.
“I think that speaks for itself,” Lemon said, before plugging his YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky accounts. Users on X were quick to criticize Lemon for fleeing the platform. Musk had fired Lemon hours after a testy sit-down, which was meant to be the show’s premiere episode. In a September filing in San Francisco federal court, Musk and X asked a federal judge to dismiss Lemon’s lawsuit.via REUTERS
