Judge Dismisses Musk Lawsuit Against Nonprofit Monitoring Hate Speech on Twitter

• A federal judge dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a nonprofit that researches online hate.

• Musk accused CCDH of spreading misleading claims and illegally scraping data after it published critical reports about hate and extremism on Twitter.

• The judge ruled the lawsuit was brought to punish CCDH for criticizing Twitter and deter others from doing the same.

• CCDH has highlighted the rise in hate speech on Twitter since Musk took over, including his decision to unban neo-Nazis.

• Musk is still pursuing a similar lawsuit against left-leaning media watchdog Media Matters for America in Texas.
