United States of America: Filed Lawsuit concerning constitutionality and legal validity of California Assembly Bill No. 587 (X Corp v. Bonta)

On 8 September 2023, X Corp. has filed a legal challenge against California Assembly Bill No. 587 (AB 587), which mandates large social media companies to publicly post terms of service regarding content moderation and submit detailed reports on their content moderation practices to the California Attorney General. X Corp. argues that California Assembly Bill No. 587 (AB 587) violates the First Amendment by compelling the company to speak and interfering with its editorial decisions. The company also claims that the law infringes on California's Constitution, imposes an undue burden on interstate commerce, and conflicts with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Additionally, X Corp. contends that AB 587 gives the California Attorney General excessive enforcement powers.
