According to The Guardian's latest report, ever since Musk acquired Twitter (now called X) for $44 billion, CCDH has been conducting research into the content published on the platform.
The Verge reported that X Corp complained that CCDH regularly posts articles, which false or misleading assertions about the social media platform.
The company added that the organization is doing this with the main goal of harming Twitter's reputation.
