And time to go after the world federation of advertisers board members then.

They’ve only dissolved the shell company…

Very good question. I can think of someone to ask. From YouTuber The Royal Grift, a month ago...

“...not-for-profit organization with limited resources...”

In other words, it’s a George Soros front group. They will be out of business in 2025.

This one is from 2020, note the timing...

Prince Harry says social media has fueled a 'crisis of hate' The Duke of Sussex says he's 'especially concerned' about online dangers as a father

...He applauded the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) for being committed to evaluating hate speech...

What are multiple Deep States using those two tools to do...??

Also from 2020. As usual, the stuff on GARM is buried down in the article...

It’s a start but GARM was the messenger.

From the guy who think our First Amendment is "bonkers", in his own words, from 2020, GARM mentioned...

Prince Harry: Social media is dividing us. Together, we can redesign it Amid a crisis of health, hate, and truth online, companies need to take a stand for a more compassionate digital world, writes Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex

I wonder who wrote it for him...

Get the people who created and funded it, and sue them into oblivion.

A little background. Looks like Musk has sent a message that was likely to succeed.

If they were not doing something illegal and were doibg good, why immediately fold only because of two lawsuits?

Don’t celebrate just yet. These termites never give up, they’ll go into temporary hiding and resurface while you’re asleep.
