X's lawsuit against advertisers
X's lawsuit claims that GARM "conspired" with brands like CVS to “collectively withhold billions of dollars in advertising revenue” shortly after Musk took over the company in 2022.
It's important to note that this lawsuit is not related to last year's more recent advertiser boycottof X, which occurred after Musk seemingly endorsed a far-right conspiracy theory and a Media Matters for America report found ads on pro-Nazi content. (X has an ongoing lawsuitagainst Media Matters as a result of that report, which it filed last year.) Musk had famously toldadvertisers to "go fuck yourself" as a result of that boycott.
X CEO Linda Yaccarino posted both a videoand articleon X about the lawsuit on Tuesday. The video posted with the headline "A Message to X Users," Yaccarino claims that "a group of companies organized a systematic illegal boycott against X."

Yaccarino and X's lawsuit cites the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee’s report, “GARM’s (Global Alliance for Responsible Media) Harm." The report claims that "evidence obtained by the Committee shows that GARM and its members directly organized boycotts and used other indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms, content creators, and news organizations in an effort to demonetize and, in effect, limit certain choices for consumers."
The House Judiciary Committee’s report claims that "GARM recommended that its members 'stop all paid advertisement' on Twitter in response to Mr. Musk’s acquisition of the company."
"The illegal behavior of these organizations and their executives cost X billions of dollars," said Yaccarino.
According to the WFA, its members control 90 percent of global marketing spending.
