The CCDH do not have the resources to fight Twitter alone. This is clearly an attempt to scare them into silence with legal fees.

Thanks!
It blows my mind how CEO's can make such obviously shortsighted and stupid decisions.
Elon is elonning Twitter's reputation faster and faster every day.
I mean the alternative possibility is that people dislike Elon and are trying to inflate small things into big ones.
Not that I don't actually suspect hate speech hasn't increased on his platform since he fired most of the staff anyway, but a company does have the right to defend itself legally against accusations and decide it in court.
It's like if you made a company and I had a claim that you were eating babies during lunch. Your defense against me would be a lawsuit in court.
Ok, but if you fire the team responsible for making sure no babies are consumed, and your company cafeteria menu suddenly has a section called All Baby All Day, the only people who will defend you are probably also eating babies at home.
The situation of one of the largest social media platforms in the world, and the proliferation of hate speech in it, are not small things. That place has had real political impact.
Yeah, he has the right, sure. Nobody says he doesn't, nobody says he shouldn't. But right now it's in the media. It's stupid. Now there's more attention drawn to this, and if they lose (though Elon's musk will likely try to bleed them dry rather than try to straight up win) it's now not just a claim, it's a claim backed up by law. He has very little to gain with this stunt.
Just because you have a right to do something, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Something that Elon clearly doesn't understand.
Free speech is for my group, not the others - hypocrite.
You can write Musk instead of hypocrite. Synonyms are fine.
Elon putting a spotlight over his own bad press
It's good press for his crowd.
He’s operating off the notion that any publicity is good publicity. Hopefully it works but the guy has so much money that he won’t be going away anytime soon (or ever). It’s too bad that he’s such a cunt, he could have done great things but he was raised as a cunt as well so it’s kind of hopeless.
To moderators: if the mega thread style doesn’t work, could we consider splitting out Musk-news to some other community? The topics comes rapidly and gain a lot of interest, but it’s such a narrow perspective on technology and just drowns other news.
EnoughMuskSpam is a thing on lemmy.world.
why join a community with musk in the name
Duh. To make sure you are getting just the right amount of Musk in your life! /s
At least on Reddit I used RES filters to block all posts with certain people in the subjects. Cuts down on a lot of low-effort gossip from people hate-posting news.

Thank you for the terms. Couldn't find them anywhere. Made it hard to fit my comments in with communities not realizing this was the meta.
Yes please. This needs to be addressed.
"How dare you give me factual information about me to my face! I will sue you!" - eturd musk
More hate speech research groups, please!

So just your average rich republican
Assuming they're relying on established metrics... good luck with your trashfire-smokescreen of a libel case?
Its going to be hard to prove that he didn't Musk up twitter
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
