X Files Brief Supporting Coinbase in Supreme Court Fight Against IRS Data Collection

Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, is taking a strong stand on user privacy by urging the Supreme Court to prevent government access to personal data without proper legal grounds. The company has filed a legal brief supporting James Harper, who alleges that his financial transaction data was handed over to the IRS as part of a large-scale investigation targeting thousands of users. This case raises concerns about mass data collection and potential violations of privacy rights. X believes government agencies should only request user data with probable cause, not simply for routine collection.
