The Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal by X, formerly known as Twitter, that challenged a law preventing the company from disclosing how often the federal government sought monitoring of social media users.

X had said the U.S. government’s ban on disclosing the exact number of receipts of national security-related requests for surveillance of users was unconstitutional.
