X Corp v. Media Matters
Summary
X sued the watchdog Media Matters over a November 2023 report showing ads appearing next to extremist content on X, alleging it manufactured the juxtapositions to drive an advertiser exodus. Media Matters calls the suit a SLAPP intended to silence criticism.
Outcome
Contested/ongoing: venue and procedural fights have dominated; a separate suit by Media Matters challenged government probes. The free-speech-vs-defamation merits remain unresolved.
