Musk’s X Sues New York Over Law Requiring Hate-Speech Data

Elon Musk’s X Corp. sued the state of New York claiming a law requiring social media companies to disclose how they deal with hate speech, extremism and disinformation violates the US Constitution.

X filed a suit in Manhattan federal court Tuesday, claiming provisions of New York’s “Stop Hiding Hate Act,” signed by Governor Kathy Hochul in December, violate state and federal free speech guarantees. The company is seeking an order declaring the provisions void and blocking the state from enforcing them.
