Can someone explain like I’m dumb? This sounds bad, because a non profit is being bullied into shutting down because of a lawsuit, but it’s also being hailed as a first amendment win, which sounds like the opposite of what is happening.
Republicans call it a first amendment win because GARM would tell advertisers when their ads are running on platforms along side dangerous or illegal content. And they equate being given carte blanche to spread any and all harmful content on social media with free speech.
Gotcha thank you. So standard Gaslight Obstruct Project going on.
Just so I got this clear, making it illegal to tell advertisers when their ads are running next to dangerous or illegal content is a freedom of speech win?
Yes and it's pretty obvious how. I'm just waiting for my overlords to tell me exactly why it's obvious.
The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) is a cross-industry initiative established in 2019 by the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) to help the industry address the challenge of illegal or harmful content on digital media platforms and its monetization via advertising. https://wfanet.org/leadership/garm/about-garm
So it shutting down because of this lawsuit is a bad thing. I wonder if the advertising industry will come up with anything to replace it.
Brother if Elon Musk is for it you can go ahead and assume it's bad.
