The group, Global Alliance for Responsible Media, also known as GARM, is a voluntary ad-industry initiative run by the World Federation of Advertisers that aims to help brands avoid having their advertisements appear alongside illegal or harmful content. GARM confirmed it is still planning to defend itself in court.

The end of GARM marks a temporary victory for Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino, even though a judge hasn’t made a ruling yet.

GARM used to warn advertisers when their ads were being displayed next to objectionable material. With the warning system gone, Advertisers should now revert to a fail-safe state and stop using Xitter entirely.

Meanwhile, anyone still using Xitter should absolutely get in the habit of taking screenshots of ads next to heinous nazi bullshit, and then calling out the companies on why they support that kind of thing.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Transfer the funds, dissolve the entity, so they don’t need to waste money fighting frivolous lawsuits and open up under a different entity.

Half of white Musky is moving to Texas is it the lawyers will let anybody with enough money do whatever the hell they want. I don’t think they have an anti-slap law at the state level either.

You would be looking for the Texas Citizens Participation Act. That’s Texas’ Anti-SLAPP law. No idea how it holds up in comparison to other states’ though.

nonprofit advertising group

Watdafuq is a nonprofit advertising group? I’m assuming they weren’t just public service announcements…

Naw these things exist in every industry. At best, they coordinate compliance and best practices, but at worst they collude. It’s a non-profit association of for-profit companies.

Just a way to structure an organization so folks don’t have to pay taxes twice. You’d do the same to a lobbying organization.
