In an epic courtroom mic-drop, a federal judge blocked the FTC's deep dive into Media Matters’ data connecting X’s ads to antisemitic content. The FTC went hunting for answers around toxic ads — but Judge Why-Bother said 'Not today!' Highlighting a rare moment where bureaucracy plays dodgeball, the blocked investigation leaves us wondering if justice is now sponsored by silence. With names like 'FTC' and 'Media Matters' in the mix, this legal slapfight proves that when it comes to policing social media nastiness, federal judges might just be ghosting the hotline.
