‘The result generated by the test would almost never happen in the real world, Musk’s complaint alleged’
Think this kills the case quick. So he is saying it does happen, and doesn’t seem like the media matters report mentions frequency.
The discovery in this case will be interesting, if they even get there. Media matters could end up with even more dirt on twitter.
Tucker Carlson concern-trolling to a camera is not a "news report"
Friendly reminder that Tucker was fired from Fox and isn't part of any "news" outlet anymore, probably as part of Fox's settlement for lying about voting machines.
Freeze peach absolutist, ya all!
Ditch centralized platforms.
TUCKER: “Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who hate Western civilization designed to prohibit people from saying certain things.” And what they are prohibiting are the truth.
Manipulation can be stop by decentralization.
Why do freeze peach weirdos only seem to be worried about the freedom to throw slurs and spew antisemitic conspiracies?
Because that's the speech they like the most.
I mean isn't this, Lemmy, an answer as well?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The lawsuit filed Monday accuses Media Matters of distorting how likely it is for ads to appear beside extremist content on X, alleging that the group’s testing methodology was not representative of how real users experience the site.
Discovery, halted their advertising on X. Musk threatened a “thermonuclear lawsuit” against Media Matters and “ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company,” including, he said in a follow-up post, “their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them…”
“And in some ways it’s a dream come true for the people at Media Matters because it could allow them to use the litigation discovery process to force X to divulge all sorts of embarrassing, damaging private information that it would much rather keep secret.”
Ken White, a First Amendment lawyer and criminal defense attorney based in Los Angeles, said the decision to file in Texas may have been intended to circumvent laws passed by California, the District of Columbia and dozens of states barring frivolous lawsuits meant to stifle public criticism.
“X filed this in federal court in Texas to avoid application of an anti-SLAPP statute,” White said on the X alternative BlueSky, using the acronym that refers to so-called “strategic lawsuits against public participation.”
Monday’s case has been assigned to District Judge Mark Pittman, a Donald Trump appointee who has previously been at the center of some of the nation’s biggest legal battles.
