Judge Throws FTC’s Antisemitism Probe on X to the Courtside

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.
