Elon Musk’s X Sues New York Over Hate Speech Transparency Law

X is suing to block New York’s Stop Hiding Hate Act, claiming it violates the First Amendment and mirrors a similar California law already struck down in court. The law requires social media platforms to disclose how they moderate hate speech, which X argues is a veiled attempt at censorship. New York lawmakers behind the bill say platforms like X have become “cesspools of hate” and accuse Musk of using free speech as a shield against accountability.
