> That’s why X has filed a legal claim against the CCDH and its backers.

CCDH has published the letter they received from Twitter, as well as their response:

the "legal claim" language Twitter uses here doesn't make it particularly clear, as far as I can tell it's only that cease & desist letter, and not a lawsuit (yet)

here is the report that Twitter is objecting to:

https://counterhate.com/research/twitter-fails-to-act-on-twi...

> Researchers collected tweets promoting hate from 100 Twitter Blue subscribers. The tweets were reported to the platform using Twitter’s own tools for flagging hateful conduct.

> Four days after reporting the tweets, researchers found that Twitter had failed to act on 99% of the posts and 100% of the accounts remained active. In the one instance that Twitter removed a hateful tweet, the account from which it was tweeted remains active.


Can’t he keep his branding consistent?

“contained metrics used out of context to make unsubstantiated assertions about X (formerly Twitter).” Additionally, the CCDH has recently scraped X's platform, which is a violation of our terms of service.

Is this it?

He can’t seriously think this will hold up in court?

Also he also banned a reporter for reporting on a Tesla crash this week!
