Summary · why it matters

X and the World Federation of Advertisers have settled litigation over an alleged advertiser boycott linked to the now-defunct Global Alliance for Responsible Media. The settlement follows a March ruling in which a U.S. judge dismissed X's antitrust lawsuit against the WFA and major companies including Mars, CVS Health, and Colgate-Palmolive. The WFA reaffirmed its commitment to freedom of speech and said it had permanently discontinued GARM in August 2024 and would not revive the initiative or create a similar program. The two organizations said brands, platforms, and consumers all stand to benefit from continued innovation in brand safety.
