A federal judge in San Francisco has dismissed a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk and the X social media platform against a self-styled hate speech watchdog organization called the Center For Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).

X Corp. had filed a complaint in July last year, alleging the CCDH had illegally scraped data off the social media platform and cherry-picked said data to bolster a narrative that the social media platform is “overwhelmed by harmful content” and used said narrative to scare companies into diverting their advertising dollars away from the platform.
