Elon Musk’s X just sued a nonprofit advertising group out of existence - eviltoast

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.

    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.
