Elon Musk’s X sues anti-hate researchers

"Anti-hate researchers" - strong scare quotes required here. This is just a political org masquerading as a research group.

I can not find any evidence supporting this claim.

Opposing hate is an extremely laudable goal (even though genuinely well-intentioned people can reasonably disagree with defining hateful conduct and figuring out what's a proper response to hate) but I agree with your opinion. To me, this organization's activity looks to be a fairly thin veneer of "anti-hate" over a thick layer of ideologically driven political activism. To me, their focus on things like "Anti-vaxx misinformation" and "climate change misinformation" is bizarre if they were really genuine in their stated purpose.

Again that's not evidence. Does anyone know of any verifiable factual evidence this is true or even possibly true? I literally can't find anything so far. This isn't reddit people. This is HN. You need to back up your claims here. We're professionals.

Why do you require a citation for what's clearly presented as an opinion?

For your reference, their stated organizational focuses (the only objective facts about them brought up in this thread) are confirmed here by them. https://counterhate.com/our-work/

Everything else stated about them is clearly a subjective opinion, and asking for evidence of an opinion feels like a rather counterproductive and bad-faith argumentation technique.

>Elon Musk's latest legal move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook – he will stop at nothing to silence anyone who criticizes him.
