World Federation of Advertisers shuts down GARM project after Elon Musk, Rumble sue over ad boycott
• The Post MillenialThe Global Alliance for Responsible Media has decided to "discontinue activities" after a lawsuit filed against them by Elon Musk's X and the Rumble platform. The group was under fire for antitrust violations after they had orchestrated ad boycotts of both platforms using their monopoly.
The House Judiciary said this was a "Big win for the First Amendment" and a "Big win for oversight." The House Committee brought questions about GARM, their monopoly on advertisers, and their use of that monopoly to influence online speech to a hearing.
