Global Alliance for Responsible Media disputes X lawsuit but stops operations.

The SLAPP seems to working as intended.

An advertising industry initiative targeted by an Elon Musk lawsuit is “discontinuing” its activities and has deleted the member list from its website.

Stephan Loerke, the CEO of the WFA, wrote in an email to members, seen by Business Insider, that the decision was “not made lightly” but that GARM is a not-for-profit organization with limited resources.

Today, the House Judiciary GOP’s official account on X called GARM being discontinued a “big win for the First Amendment” and a “big win for oversight.” X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

      So it shutting down because of this lawsuit is a bad thing. I wonder if the advertising industry will come up with anything to replace it.

        Brother if Elon Musk is for it you can go ahead and assume it’s bad.
