Reklame alliancen GARN som X beskylder for at orkastrere reklame boycuttet på X, lukkede organisationen ned blot 48 timer efter de blev sagsøgt af X. Det virker meget besynderligt, med mindre du har noget at skjule, men selvfølgelig bruger de undskyldningen for at lukke, at de ikke har råd til at holde skuden kørende mens de skal kæmpe en retsag.
The Global Alliance for Responsible Media, a nonprofit coalition of major advertisers led by the World Federation of Advertisers, told its members it would cease operations two days after Mr. Musk accused the group of orchestrating a boycott against X. The lawsuit claimed that the group, known as GARM, had violated antitrust laws by coordinating with brands to dissuade them from spending money on the social media platform.
At X, the news that GARM would shut down was celebrated. “No small group should be able to monopolize what gets monetized,” Linda Yaccarino, X’s chief executive, said in a post. “This is an important acknowledgment and a necessary step in the right direction. I am hopeful that it means ecosystem-wide reform is coming.”
GARM’s decision to close was also praised by the House Judiciary Committee, led by Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio. The committee published a report in July that said GARM had tried to influence online discourse by “starving disfavored content, or even entire platforms, of advertising dollars needed to survive.”
“This is a big win for the First Amendment, and a big win for Chairman Jordan’s oversight work,” said Russell Dye, a spokesman for the committee.
