A new class action lawsuit has been filed against Twitter alleging that the company targeted women during widespread layoffs initiated by Elon Musk.

The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Dec. 7 by attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan on behalf of two former Twitter employees who were laid off by the company in November.
