  "summary": "A US judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Elon Musk's X/Twitter seeking to void a New York state law requiring social media companies to disclose how they monitor hate speech and disinformation. US District Judge John Cronan in Manhattan rejected X's argument that the Stop Hiding Hate Act violated the US Constitution's First Amendment. The judge ruled that requiring X to report purely factual and uncontroversial information about its content moderation policies was reasonably related to New York's interest in letting people make informed choices about using social media. The dismissal is with prejudice, meaning X cannot amend its complaint. The New York law, signed in December 2024 by Governor Kathy Hochul, requires social media companies with at least $100 million of annual revenue to disclose their efforts to eliminate hate speech and report their progress. Civil fines can reach $15,000 per violation per day.",
