Elon Musk’s X wins appeal to block part of California content moderation law

(Reuters) – Elon Musk’s social media platform X on Wednesday won an appeal to partially block a California law requiring social media companies to publish their policies for combating disinformation, harassment, hate speech and extremism.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco overturned a lower court judge’s decision declining to pause enforcement of the new California law.
