Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, filed a lawsuit against left-wing watchdog group Media Matters for defamation on Nov. 20.

Global brands such as IBM, Comcast, and others began to pull advertising from X after a Media Matters report published on Nov. 16 claimed that ads for major brands appeared next to posts touting Nazism on the platform.
