Elon Musk’s X Shifts Legal Battles to North Texas

The US District Court for the Northern District of Texas will shortly hear lawsuits against X (formerly Twitter)

The change was initially disclosed last month as part of a more extensive series of modifications to X’s privacy policy and terms of service.

Currently, The Washington Post has conducted interviews with numerous legal and technology professionals regarding the potential implications of the upcoming changes, which are scheduled to take effect on November 15.

Elon Musk, the owner of X, has also relocated the social media company’s headquarters from San Francisco to Bastrop, Texas, which is located near Austin. However, Bastrop is located in the Western District of Texas.

In contrast, the Northern District has emerged as a hub for conservative activists who are eager to oppose Democratic policies. This is due to the fact that 10 of the 11 active justices in the district were appointed by Republican presidents.

Although it is customary for companies to delineate the jurisdiction in which litigation against them may be filed in their terms of service, Cornell law professor G.S. Hans characterized the selection of the Northern District of Texas as “abnormal” in comparison to the Northern District of California, which is the jurisdiction of the majority of technology companies.

Hans stated that the Texas district “just doesn’t have as much of a volume or history” with tech lawsuits.
