Elon Musk’s X Partially Blocks California Misinformation Law

Elon Musk’s social media platform X won an appeal to partially block a new California law that required companies to publish their policies against disinformation and hate speech. The decision was made by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, overturning a lower court's previous ruling.

Elon Musk's social media platform X secured a legal victory on Wednesday, successfully appealing to partially block a new California law.

The law mandates that social media companies disclose their policies for combating disinformation, harassment, hate speech, and extremism.

A three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco overturned a prior decision from a lower court, which had declined to halt the enforcement of the law.
