Media Matters Under Investigation For “Bullying Advertisers” To Leave X

“Enemies of free speech are attempting to kill X because they cannot control it”

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent a letter Monday to leftist activist group Media Matters, notifying the organisation that his office is investigating them for attempting to “bully advertisers” into leaving X by deceptively gaming the platform’s algorithm.

The AG delivered a letter to Media Matters, noting “As you are no doubt aware, a federal lawsuit has been filed against Media Matters, raising serious allegations that your firm falsely and deceptively manipulated the algorithm on X (formerly known as Twitter) through coordinated, inauthentic behavior and that you did so in an attempt to defame the organization and cause advertisers to pull their support from the platform, thus harming free speech.”

It continues, “The lawsuit alleges that you lied to the public, falsely suggested that fringe, extremist content regularly appears next to content from corporate advertisers when in fact the opposite is true,” Bailey added. “At the same time, you appear to have used this coordinated, inauthentic activity to solicit charitable donations from consumers across the country.”

Bailey posted the notification to X, noting that if found to be the case, it would constitute a violation of the state’s consumer protection laws, “including laws that prohibit nonprofit entities from soliciting funds under false pretenses.”

The AG also labeled X “the last platform dedicated to free speech in America.”

Bailey notes that his office has ordered Media Matters to preserve “Internal communications regarding their strategy to target advertisers on X into pulling their ads from the platform,” as well as “Communications with IBM, Lions Gate Entertainment, Apple, Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery, Paramount Gold, NBCUniversal, Comcast, Sony, Ubisoft and Wal-Mart.”

Media Matters has also been notified to preserve “Internal communications regarding policies, strategies or operations related to generating stories or content intended to “cancel,” “deplatform,” “demonetize,” or otherwise interfere with businesses or organizations located in Missouri, or utilized by Missouri residents.”

In further tweets, Bailey labeled Media Matters and other organisations like them “progressive tyrants masquerading as news outlets… in order to wipe out free speech.”

Elon Musk posted that he is “glad to hear this,” after stating Sunday that X is suing Media Matters “in every country they operate.”

Musk further asserted that “Media Matters is an evil propaganda machine, they can go to hell. I hope they do.”

During the same discussion, Musk said that he would rather “go to prison” than restrict free speech on X at the behest of the government.

  1. Musk will take them all under his wing and let them sing like canaries so they can train A.I for governments to round up dissidents.

    1. If anyone believes that Musk is the wealthiest man in the world and is an inventor, they probably believe in Santa Claus too. Him and other technocrats like Gates are SUS as fuck.

      X.AI Corp, is Musk’s little project, he wants to understand the universe LMAO.

      They are training A.I. to to push society in the direction they want to go.

      X/Twitter is being used for Artificial neural network that can attain Predictive modelling on human patterns of behaviour.
