Elon Musk’s X Corp has taken legal action against New York over the Stop Hiding Hate Act, a law requiring social media platforms to reveal their content moderation policies. Signed in 2024, the law aims to increase transparency regarding how platforms handle hate speech and disinformation. X argues it violates free speech rights by forcing companies to disclose sensitive moderation practices and imposing hefty fines. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court on June 17, 2025, claims the law mimics a California statute partially blocked for similar reasons. Critics of X, including the law’s sponsors, argue it’s needed to address rising hate speech on the platform since Musk’s 2022 acquisition. For more details, see Reuters or relevant X posts.
