The World Federation of Advertisers is shutting down GARM after Rumble and X filed suit against them.

What are they hiding?

Business Insider:

 

"The advertising trade group The World Federation of Advertisers told its members on Thursday that it was discontinuing activities for its Global Alliance for Responsible Media initiative following an antitrust lawsuit filed by Elon Musk's X against the company earlier this week."

"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."

They retreated too easily.

Unfortunately, their positions concerning normal Americans is still set as far as advertising goes. GARM may go, but their edicts will persist.

Shutting down their organization doesn’t mean that they won’t stop doing their dirty work ‘behind the scenes’.

They will be destroying their records and computers before they close their office. This is about preventing Musk from getting evidence.

Give Musk much kudos. The ability of creepy organizations like this to control information and censor increases exponentially unless they are significantly challenged.

“They retreated too easily.”

Progressives really don’t have as much to fight with as they appear to.

But we have way less activists than they do. So they usually win. They only win because ours simply refuse to show up to begin with.

The one who shows up wins.

I wouldn’t underestimate the zeal of a certain ‘wildcard’ billionaire to continue the battle with these people in these shadows they are retreating to.

Stephan manages the WFA secretariat and is the WFA’s main spokesperson. Before WFA, Stephan worked at the United Nations in New York and later in both marketing and management roles at L'Oréal. You can get in touch at stephan.loerke (at) wfanet.org

Sounds like a Deep State EuroWanker , Brussels, United Nation.

Baloney. They will just change their name and be worse than before. They figure it will take some time to “CATCH” them again.

“Shutting down their organization doesn’t mean that they won’t stop doing their dirty work ‘behind the scenes’.”

Right, the gloabl adberstisers will simply informally continue GARM each on its own, with all mutual contact about it kept to private meetings, not any electronic communications.

I will never forget Rush talking about several attacks he would overcome by researching and exposing creepozoids like this. The Left was always threatening Rush and his advertisers. With the advent of social media, it was easy to make it look like hundreds of thousands of people were rejecting Rush, and his advertisers. Once Rush did a little digging, he determined that about 10 creeps were responsible for creating the impression of thousands. Once he demonstrated that to the companies that advertised on his show, they continued to buy commercial time.

As Rush says, they were confiscatory ad rates for the obscene profit center. However, as soon as a company paid and advertised, the reached millions of people, and there businesses grew and grew.

They should have liability insurance and director’s liability personally. Go after them.

Of course they will be back, under a new name pretending to be a new non-profit.

It is owned by the WEF so they will just fire it back up under another name and operation. The one thing they WILL NOT do is quit.

Absolutely. They will not stop.

World Federation of Advertisers is owned by the World Economic Forum.

“In 2019, WFA formed the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), a global cross-industry alliance which aims to improve digital safety and eliminate harmful online content.[6] GARM is made up of advertisers, agencies, media companies, platforms and industry organisations and is part of the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Culture.[7] The alliance has introduced guidelines concerning misinformation and new standards on ad placements.[8] Following an antitrust lawsuit from Elon Musk’s Twitter, the WFA will shut GARM down.[9]”
