Overview

• The new terms of service for X, effective November 15, require all user lawsuits to be filed in the Northern District of Texas or state courts in Tarrant County.
• This district is favored by conservative activists and has a high number of Republican-appointed judges, raising concerns about 'judge-shopping.'
• X's headquarters are in Bastrop, Texas, part of the Western District, which has fewer Republican-appointed judges.
• Judge Reed O'Connor, known for conservative rulings, has been involved in X's lawsuits, including one against Media Matters.
• O'Connor recused himself from an antitrust case involving X due to owning Tesla shares but remains on the Media Matters case.
