Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has obtained a ruling requiring it to get a preliminary injunction against California social media law. The court reversed the decision of a lower court which upheld the state’s regulation on social media companies. This comes amid a legal setback faced by the company in a recent case concerning the 2022 mass layoff.
Elon Musk X To Seek Injunction
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in a recent ruling held that X can proceed to obtain a preliminary injunction against the California Social Media Anti-Hate Speech Law. The law that requires social media companies to disclose content moderation and anti-hate policies has been at the center of recent debates.
On one hand, the law seeks to protect social media users and citizens from abuse by checking the frameworks used by associated companies. Meanwhile, critics saw that it might be unconstitutional as some of its provisions are a stretch.
