Elon Musk-led X has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Sacramento, California, challenging the constitutionality of Assembly Bill 587, a state bill needing social media platforms to report their moderation efforts to the attorney general of the state. The company claims that the bill infringes federal and state free speech laws by forcing them to engage in speech against their will and define categories of speech such as "hate/racism," "misinformation/disinformation," "extremism/radicalization," and "foreign political interference."
