Elon Musk just sued us for exposing hate on Twitter

Our research showed a startling rise in hate speech, disinformation, and incitement to harm since Elon Musk took over Twitter/X – but he did nothing about it. [Center for Countering Digital Hate]( [Elon Musk is attempting to silence our work to stop online hate and disinformation with a lawsuit. Donate today to fund our legal work >>]( Friend, My name is Imran Ahmed. I founded the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) to put a stop to online hate and disinformation that social media companies have enabled, causing so much damage to our society. Our research showed a startling rise in hate speech, disinformation, and incitement to harm since Elon Musk took over Twitter/X – but he did nothing about it. [So now Musk has slapped us with a lawsuit to try and silence our work.]( [Donate to our legal fund today >>]( Silencing CCDH and our research will not stop neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and disinformation superspreaders from making Twitter a toxic platform. Only Musk can undo his own errors, which is why our research and work to expose Musk's failures is so critical. So, Friend, at this urgent moment, I must ask you for your help. We need $100,000 in emergency grassroots donations to kick start our legal fund against the richest man in the world. [If you’re able, will you make a donation to help us fight Elon Musk’s lawsuit and stop the spread of hate and disinformation on social media?]( [Donate to our legal fund today >>]( Elon Musk’s lawsuit against CCDH – a nonprofit working to expose online hate – is a move straight out of the authoritarian handbook. He is trying to silence us and our work. But with your help, we will beat this brazen lawsuit and force Musk to put a stop to the dangerous hate and disinformation that has spread like wildfire across Twitter. Thank you for your support, and we’ll be in touch again soon about the fight ahead.
