3. CCDH is currently being sued by this platform, X, which has accused it of manipulating X data to make it "appear as if X is overwhelmed by harmful content":

The statement is a factual claim regarding the status of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) as a registered charity. It presents evidence from the UK Charity Commission and a search of the charity register to support the claim that CCDH is not a registered charity in the UK. The tone is investigative and informative, aiming to clarify the organization's status.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement aims to inform and does not appear to cause harm with words or actions. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy and dignity by focusing on the organization's public charity status, not on individuals. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement promotes understanding by providing evidence to support the claim about CCDH's charity status. [+1]
  4. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement acknowledges a potential discrepancy in CCDH's claimed status, which could be seen as an effort to correct misinformation. [+1]
