64 Experts Stand Against Elon Musk’s Attempts to Silence CCDH
Leading organizations and experts stand with CCDH
Organizations and experts expressed concern about the recent legal moves by X —formerly known as Twitter— against the Center for Countering Digital Hate and efforts to silence criticism of the platform.
We view these efforts as a threat to the right to freedom of expression, resulting in a dangerous chilling effect on civil society, experts, and advocates – and ultimately the public, which deserves to know how Twitter/X and similar platforms are spreading hate and disinformation.
