Elon Musk's X Corp. has filed a lawsuit against the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), accusing the industry group of violating antitrust laws through an advertising boycott that cost X billions of dollars. The boycott was organized by GARM in 2022 over concerns about X's adherence to "brand safety" standards after Musk acquired the platform. The lawsuit claims that the boycott undermines the marketplace of ideas and favors certain viewpoints over others. This comes as House Republicans and conservative media outlets have also criticized GARM for alleged antitrust violations. X's lawsuit is accompanied by a similar lawsuit from video sharing platform Rumble. [Extracted from the article]
