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.

      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.
