NewzA US federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's social media platform, X, which sought to invalidate a New York state law. The legislation, signed in December 2024 by Governor Kathy Hochul, mandates that social media companies with a minimum of $100 million in annual revenue publicly disclose their policies and practices regarding the monitoring and elimination of hate speech, extremism, harassment, foreign political interference, and disinformation on their platforms.
The dismissed legal challenge targeted the state's requirement for transparency in content moderation. Under the enacted law, eligible tech companies are legally obligated to detail their internal enforcement mechanisms to address harmful and illicit online content.
