Elon Musk sued this advertising group into the ground over X ‘boycott’

Elon Musk’s X filed a federal antitrust lawsuit on Tuesday, Aug. 6, against the World Federation of Advertisers and four members for what the company’s CEO says was a “systematic, illegal boycott against X.” The companies include CVS Health and Mars Inc., both of which were part of the trade group’s Global Alliance for Responsible Media or GARM, a nonprofit that helped member “advertisers avoid inadvertently supporting harmful and illegal content.”

freer speech is always a good thing, as long as it is free for everyone, little guys allowed to participate and not be squashed by corporations with a political agenda.

*Elon Musk:* "Don't advertise. Go fu-- yourself."
*GARM:* _doesn't advertise_
*X:* "Wait, that's illegal!"

I find it disturbing that SAN censors 35% (minimum) of comments.

I think advertisers should be able to advertise with whoever they want. This is just more billionaire bullying.
