GARM&#8217;s activities included advising companies on which platforms might be problematic from a brand safety perspective, which led to significant advertisers pulling their ads from X (formerly known as Twitter) after Elon Musk&#8217;s acquisition of the platform. Musk and X Corp accused GARM of orchestrating an advertising boycott, alleging that this action illegally conspired to withhold billions in advertising revenue from X, prompting a lawsuit against GARM and some of its member companies. This legal action and related scrutiny led to GARM discontinuing its operations, citing financial and resource constraints due to the lawsuit.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)\">WordPress\u2019d from my personal iPhone,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)\"><a href=\"tel:650-283-8008\" dir=\"ltr\" x-apple-data-detectors=\"true\" x-apple-data-detectors-type=\"telephone\" x-apple-data-detectors-result=\"1\">650-283-8008<\/a><\/span><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)\">, number that&nbsp;Steve Jobs texted me on<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><font color=\"#000000\"><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)\">https:\/\/www.YouTube.com\/watch?v=ejeIz4EhoJ0<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 13pt\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deeply understood, computer science knowledge CS is based in law &nbsp; &nbsp; Elon Musk \u2066\u202a@elonmusk\u202c\u2069 I strongly encourage any company who has been systematically boycotted by advertisers to file a lawsuit.
