    I think this article might be looking at this wrong. Corporations play all kinds of shell games with organizations and lawyers and there are plenty of examples where corps duck responsibility by dissolving or sometimes even reorganizing these organizations.

    Just because GARM has dissolved doesn’t mean this kind of movement is over… like at all. The article itself states several similar lawsuits that failed.

      Yeah. You can’t sue GARM, because GARM is dead. You win! Pay no attention to the recently incorporated “GARM 2”.

        One time in my industry, a small startup company in Israel caused around 4 million dollars in damage due to negligence in the U.S., Mexico and Honduras.

        A month later that company was out of business. All their assets where purchased by another company. Conveniently the new owners were kids the old companies owners. The old owners where I hired on as “consultants”.

    “Everyone can see that advertising on X is a treacherous business relationship for advertisers,”

    Said the same yesterday. Imagine throwing money at X after all this.

    Just the snakes eating their own tail. Nonprofit doesn’t mean unbiased or non commercial goals. Whoever was funding them will just move on to another non profit.
