Lawsuits against X end up in conservative court
Elon Musk's short messaging service X has updated its terms of use in the USA. Possible lawsuits from users are to be directed to a conservative court in Texas in future.
The new terms of use, which are due to come into force on November 15, stipulate that all user lawsuits against X must be filed exclusively in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas or in state courts in Tarrant County, Texas.
It is common for companies to include forum selection clauses in their terms of use that specify which court has jurisdiction over any litigation filed against them. However, the choice of the Northern District of Texas is unusual because X is not even based in that district.
The Northern District is well known among conservative activists and business groups, as judges there seem to rule more in their favor. X has not yet responded to a request for comment.
