We tried peace for 2 years, now it is war (Elon Musk)

To put it simply, people are hurt when the marketplace of ideas is undermined and some viewpoints are not funded over others as part of an illegal boycott. This behavior is a stain on a great industry, and cannot be allowed to continue. That is why, today, X has filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), and GARM members CVS Health, Mars, Orsted and Unilever. This is not a decision we took lightly, but it is a direct consequence of their actions.

It’s about time.

It's also clear that there are likely others who suffered at the hands of this activity. This case is about more than damages - we have to fix a broken ecosystem that allows this illegal activity to occur.

X is taking a stand. Bravo to them!

[VAFreedom]

so he’s backing down from the advertisers when he told them to f themselves if they didn’t like the content on X?

[Samurai_Jack]

These organizations are collaborating to create a monopoly. That’s an AntiTrust issue I think.

I wonder if he’s got a case.

[CodeToad]

These monopolies and their boycotts need to end, and this is the best way outside of a government that actually did its job.

Linda Yaccarino suspended my X account because I said that men cannot be women and women cannot be men.

Me too. 3 different time.

Same. Twice silenced.
