Elon Musk Reportedly Targets Letitia James In Free Speech Showdown

Jun 17, 2025

Elon Musk’s social media company X Corp reportedly sued New York Attorney General Letitia James in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, saying the state’s “Stop Hiding Hate” law tramples the First Amendment by forcing platforms to reveal how they police user speech.

The law, modeled after a now-revised California measure, requires large social networks to publish their content moderation rules and file twice-yearly reports to the attorney general detailing “hate speech” removals, “disinformation” takedowns and other enforcement actions. X argues the disclosures mandate mirrors the California law a federal appeals court partially blocked last year, according to Reuters.

Defining the boundaries of acceptable discourse online “engenders considerable debate among reasonable people about where to draw the correct proverbial line,” the company wrote in its filing, according to Reuters. “This is not a role that the government may play.”

The Real Problem With Bluesky

The platform has more users than ever. So why does it feel so empty?

For a different perspective on what’s happening with Bluesky, check out our colleague Luke Winkie’s piece here.

Bluesky’s big breakthrough as an alternative to the Elon Muskified Twitter was seven months ago. It hasn’t lasted. Or, at least, its enormous growth right after Donald Trump’s reelection has not kept up.

The site got a surge of new sign-ups almost immediately after the election and, shortly after the inauguration, crossed 30 million accounts. But user growth has slowed, with the site now at about 36.5 million accounts, and it appears that more and more of those accounts are becoming ghosts as users abandon the platform. Unique posters and unique likers of posts have been in steady downward descent for months. Though Bluesky has more users now than after the election, it is a smaller, less active digital community. Bigger than 2023, when it was accessible only via invitation code, but not quite big.
