New York CNN —Nonprofit online watchdog the Center for Countering Digital Hate on Thursday hit back at Elon Musk’s X in a motion to dismiss the social media company’s August lawsuit.
CCDH claims that X’s lawsuit is “riddled with legal deficiencies” and attempts to punish the nonprofit for its First Amendment protected speech, according to its Thursday filing in the Northern District Court of California.
X and a lawyer representing the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on CCDH’s Thursday filing.
In its complaint against CCDH, X alleges it has lost “at least tens of millions of dollars” in advertising revenue.
“Instead, X Corp. has ginned up baseless claims purporting to take issue with how the CCDH Defendants gathered data that formed the basis for their research.”
