A nonprofit organization that researches links between social media, hate and extremism has been threatened with a lawsuit by X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

What a little piss baby.
Total piss baby energy
Exactly what a fascist would do.
This guy is single-handedly both showing us the rich didn’t earn anything by being anything other than lucky, and the playbook they use to keep that fact quiet.
“How dare those researchers gather data and then publish factual analysis of that data”
I love the smell of free speech in the morning
Only Elon decides what is free speech and what is not.
Another day, another shocking thing EM has done.
Almost as if it is all deliberate to keep his name constantly in the news cycle…
Ah, a great example of the Streisand Effect in action. If this hadn’t have made the news, I’d never have known about this research. Fantastic!
I don’t think it’s about PR. I think it’s about sending a message that you’ll be sued if you look too heavily into things.
??? Not sure I catch your meaning there - I never mentioned PR.
I mean that he doesn’t care if people know. If anything, I think he wants people to know so they feel as if they can’t speak out about him without legal repercussions.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, probably. He’s certainly acting like a buffoon who doesn’t care what people think. I think that’s actually a sign of a very insecure person, the way he rattles his sabre all the time…
I don’t know. I dislike Musk as much as anyone but this NGO isn’t transparent about their funding and the people involved are way too involved in shitty UK think tanks and politics to not consider them as part of a campaign to reign in on actual free speech in the name of “protecting people from harm”.
Stuff like that should be grass roots and not a “yeah we’re funded by private philanthropist institutions but we don’t disclosure which ones” op.
Nothing about these people feels legit.

Yes, because you can still cherry pick results, studies, sources and skew data.
This is where you use the scientific method to counter-argument their claims, not the court.
Threatening to sue is just another attempt at censorship, ironic from someone so free speech.
Deliciously ironic.
Sue them? On what grounds?
They would only be looking at comments that are publicly visible. You might as well argue that people shouldn’t research graffiti scrolled on walls.
