Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, sued a nonprofit that fights hate speech and disinformation, accusing it of asserting false claims and encouraging advertisers to pause investment on the platform.

U.S. media reported earlier that Elon Musk-owned X had sent a letter to the Center for Countering Digital Hate and threatened to sue the nonprofit for unspecified damages.

The lawsuit stems from a media report published in July which stated findings from the center's research saying that hate speech had increased toward minority communities on the platform since Musk acquired the company in October 2022. The center's research shows that "hate and disinformation is spreading like wildfire on the platform under Musk's ownership and this lawsuit is a direct attempt to silence those efforts," the organization's founder and CEO Imran Ahmed said in an email to Reuters.In a blog post on Monday, X said the center had gained access to its data without authorization and accused it of scraping data from its platform, violating X's terms.
