X is fighting Andrew Tate’s attempt to unmask his critics

X is fighting Andrew and Tristan Tate’s attempt to unmask anonymous social media critics who posted about them online.

The Tates sued more than a dozen accounts for defamation, then asked X to reveal the users behind the posts after a court rejected claims against unnamed defendants.

X says the disclosure request lacks First Amendment safeguards and could chill protected anonymous speech.

The case could help define how far public figures can go in forcing platforms to identify anonymous critics.
