Musk claimed that CCDH unlawfully extracted data from the platform to compile reports on hate speech and misinformation online. This legal action was initiated amidst public scrutiny of Musk's efforts to relax Twitter's content moderation policies.
Judge Charles Breyer, in a comprehensive 52-page ruling, contended that the lawsuit was essentially an attempt to penalize CCDH for their expressions. Breyer stated, "This case is about punishing the Defendants for their speech."
Imran Ahmed, the CEO of CCDH, responded to the court's decision on X, stating, "This ruling conveys a powerful message to those seeking to intimidate and stifle independent research."
