  • A federal judge on Monday ordered the government-downsizing team created by U.S. President Donald Trump and spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk to make public records concerning its operations, which he said had been run in "unusual secrecy.

A U.S. judge has ruled that X Corp, formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Elon Musk, must release records related to its operations, which were previously conducted in secrecy. This decision comes in response to a lawsuit filed by Laura Loomer, a far-right activist, who claims that X Corp has been shadowbanning her account, reducing its visibility without any explicit notification. The lawsuit seeks transparency on how X Corp manages content visibility, particularly focusing on the secretive "visibility filtering" practices. The judge's order aims to shed light on these practices, potentially revealing how decisions are made regarding content moderation and user visibility on the platform. This ruling could have broader implications for social media companies' accountability and transparency in content management.
