Pro-censorship NGO working with White House to 'kill Musk's Twitter' - report  | 22 Oct 2024 | The Center for Countering Digital Hate, a UK-based nonprofit tied to the Labour Party, aims to "kill" Elon Musk's X platform with help from top Democrats in Washington, according to internal documents leaked by a whistleblower. Musk has declared "war" on the organization in response. In several monthly planners distributed to staffers this year, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) lists "Kill Musk's Twitter" as its top annual priority, according to files leaked to journalists Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker and published on Tuesday. In furtherance of this goal, CCDH staffers are told that they will "focus" on advertising, "trigger EU and UK regulatory action," and “progress towards change in USA and support for STAR." An acronym for 'Safety, Transparency, Accountability and Responsibility,' STAR is a proposed censorship bill that would create an "independent digital regulator” in the U.S. who could "impose consequences for harmful content."
