X Sues Media Matters Over Research Showing Ads Next to Antisemitic Content

X, the social media service formerly known as Twitter, sued Media Matters in federal court after the advocacy organization published research showing that ads on X appeared next to antisemitic content. A post last week from Elon Musk that endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory, which he wrote a day before the Media Matters research was published, kicked off an advertiser exodus, with major brands like IBM, Apple, Warner Bros. Discovery and Sony pausing their spending on the platform.
