The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is demanding documents from Media Matters regarding its potential coordination with other organizations in orchestrating advertiser boycotts of the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter. This demand follows accusations from Elon Musk and suggests increased scrutiny of collaborative efforts among media watchdog groups. The probe could reveal communications about misinformation and hate speech, and comes amid ongoing lawsuits involving both Media Matters and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which is implicated in these alleged coordinated efforts to target advertiser spending on X.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into Media Matters over potential coordination with groups accused of orchestrating advertiser boycotts of X.
The probe is part of a broader scrutiny by the U.S. government to determine if Media Matters colluded with others to influence advertiser decisions regarding X.
