Musk blamed \u201cactivist groups\u201d for attempting to \u201cdestroy free speech in America\u201d in a post at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The comments from Musk were later given additional context by users, which linked to news articles that suggested advertisers were acting on their own accord.<\/p>\n<p>X filed a lawsuit last month against a nonprofit organization that monitors hate speech and disinformation. He accused Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) of orchestrating a \u201cscare campaign to drive away advertisers from the X platform,\u201d according to the suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit alleges that CCDH published reports accusing the platform of failing to take action against hate speech and that the CCDH committed \u201ca series of unlawful acts designed to improperly gain access\u201d to the platform\u2019s data.<\/p>\n<p>Imran Ahmed, the nonprofit\u2019s founder and chief executive, accused Musk of bullying in a statement at the time, describing the suit as \u201cstraight out of the authoritarian playbook.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Center for Countering Digital Hate\u2019s research shows that hate and disinformation is spreading like wildfire on the platform under Musk\u2019s ownership and this lawsuit is a direct attempt to silence those efforts,\u201d Ahmed said.<\/p>\n<p>The ADL also posted a report in March accusing the platform of failing to take action against hate speech. The group\u2019s ADL Center for Technology and Society found that only 28 percent of posts flagged for antisemitic content were taken down or sanctioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we have no way to actually verify if the company is de-amplifying antisemitic content, we have found that Twitter is failing to take down tweets that clearly violate hateful conduct policies,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>A study from Montclair State University last year showed a spike in hate speech on the platform the day after Musk took over the company in October. The terms studied included vulgar and hostile terms for individuals based on race, as well as other protected classes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data conclusively shows that there is a correlation between Musk\u2019s arrival and a broader perceived acceptability to posted hostile content on Twitter,\u201d the university said.<\/p>\n<p>In April, the social media site received backlash for seemingly stepping back from a longstanding policy that aimed to protect transgender people on the platform. Twitter had banned the targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender people since 2018, but a line referring to that ban was removed from its policy earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>GLAAD named Twitter, now X, \u201cthe most dangerous platform for LGBTQ people\u201d in its Social Media Safety Index.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/2023\/09\/elon-musk-adl\/\">https:\/\/www.vtforeignpolicy.com\/2023\/09\/elon-musk-adl\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk Attacked Again By Anti-Freedom ADL and their Zionist Backers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=184717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184717\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=184717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=184717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=184717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
