Elon Musk's X Sues State of California Over Post Moderation Policies

It seems that Elon Musk has had enough of California and the state’s overbearing conduct with social media companies.

X is accusing the California government of introducing a law that would be anathema for free speech on platforms like X. For that, Elon Musk’s X Corp is suing the state, saying that the law was a tool to “pressure social media platforms to ‘eliminate’ constitutionally-protected content viewed by the State as problematic.’

Elon Musk’s X Corp has initiated a lawsuit against the state of California, contending the constitutionality of a recently enacted state law that imposes new transparency requirements on social media companies. These requirements pertain to how these platforms manage disinformation, hate speech, and extremist content.
