A federal judge heard arguments Thursday regarding whether he had jurisdiction to hear a case brought by progressive watchdog Media Matters against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The suit stems from an investigation Paxton had opened into the organization following its report that major ad campaigns on X, formerly Twitter, were running next to white nationalist and antisemitic content on the app in the wake of Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media site.
Media Matters’ reporting seemingly led large advertisers like Apple and Disney to pull out their ads off the platform, after which X sued the organization in November 2023, in the Northern District of Texas. The social media platform accused Media Matters of misrepresentation.
