Twitter Inc is continuing to shake up its legal team, dropping a law firm that CEO Elon Musk disparaged before he bought the social media company and replacing it with a new one in a lawsuit over illegal content on the site.

Silicon Valley-founded law firm Cooley was defending Twitter against claims, which the company has denied, that it promoted material on its platform depicting child sexual abuse. On Tuesday, litigation firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan told the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals without explanation that it will be taking over the case.

Court records show Cooley was a go-to firm for Twitter before the Musk acquisition, representing it in lawsuits filed by disgruntled investors and people who had been banned from its platform. It is not clear if the substitution of law firms in the California sexual exploitation case signals a change in Twitter's litigation strategy. The lawsuit, brought last year by a mother and her son, said Twitter failed to remove sexually explicit images of the son while he was a minor. Both sides appealed after a San Francisco federal judge dismissed most of the claims last year.

Musk told more than 30,000 listeners in a live Twitter Spaces audio session Friday night that he recently discovered that child sex abuse material was a severe problem on Twitter Is it still a conspiracy theory if it turns out to be true So elonmusk steps up to protect the most innocent among us and Mainstream News Media’s response is to smear him?!
