X, formerly known as Twitter, sent a letter to a nonprofit organization that researches digital hate speech and misinformation, accusing the group of making a 'series of troubling and baseless claims.'
The Center for Countering Digital Hate accused X owner Elon Musk of making a "brazen attempt to silence honest criticism."
Spiro said the company was investigating whether the CCDH's"false and misleading claims about Twitter" were actionable under."Please be advised that Twitter will employ any and all legal tools at its disposal to prevent false or misleading claims from harming its users, platform, or business," Spiro said in closing.
In a statement that accompanied the letters, the CCDH said,"Elon Musk’s actions represent a brazen attempt to silence honest criticism and independent research in the desperate hope that he can stem the tide of negative stories and rebuild his relationship with advertisers."The media relations team at X.com did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment Monday.
The tech mogul, who has been criticized for posting conspiratorial or inflammatory content on his own account, has said he is acting in the interest of"free speech." He has said he wants to transform Twitter into a"digital town square.", Musk wrote that “hate speech impressions” were down by one-third and posted a graph — apparently drawn from internal data — showing a downward trend.
