The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal by the social media giant X challenging a ban on the company disclosing federal surveillance of Americans and foreign nationals using the service.
X, formerly known as Twitter, had argued that the federal government’s prohibition on the company disclosing the receipt of national security-related requests for surveillance of users was unconstitutional.
X is owned by the billionaire Elon Musk, who also heads Tesla and SpaceX.
The Supreme Court did not explain why it declined to take X’s appeal, nor did it reveal which and how many justices might have wanted to take the case.
