イーロン・マスク*1反ユダヤ主義に反対する「名誉棄損防止同盟( Anti-Defamation League=ADL)」*2に対して、ツィッター(X)の広告収入が減少したのはお前らのせいだから訴訟してやると脅しをかけている。

According to the group, antisemitic posts on X increased sharply after Musk bought the site in October 2022 and the platform subsequently reinstated extremists and conspiracy theorists*3, while allowing the harassment of former members of its now-dissolved trust and safety council*4.

One legal expert said Musk could attempt to sue for defamation under US state law but is unlikely to succeed.

“Whether or not someone is antisemitic is fundamentally a matter of opinion, which is protected expression. Elon’s threats of litigation seem to be in effort to dissuade ADL from perpetuating a message he does not like,” said Jennifer Safstrom, a professor at Vanderbilt University law school.

さて、マスクはこれに先立って、ツィッター上のヘイト言論や虚偽情報を監視・研究している「ディジタル・ヘイト対策センター(Center for Countering Digital Hate=CCDH)」*5を提訴している;
