X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has sued a group of researchers -- alleging their work highlighting an increase in hate speech on the platform cost the company millions of dollars of advertising revenue.

With offices in the U.S. and United Kingdom, the center regularly publishes reports on hate speech, extremism and harmful behavior on social media platforms like X, TikTok or Facebook. The organization has published several reports critical of Musk's leadership, detailing an increase in anti-LGBTQ hate speech as well as climate misinformation since his purchase.

"Musk is trying to `shoot the messenger' who highlights the toxic content on his platform rather than deal with the toxic environment he's created," Ahmed said.
