A House Judiciary Committee investigation reveals the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) collaborated with foreign regulators to pressure Twitter after Elon Musk's acquisition. Emails show GARM orchestrated a boycott to enforce censorship, driven by political motives, particularly against conservative figures like Donald Trump. Head of GARM, Rob Rakowitz, expressed concerns about Trump’s influence and coordinated statements for GARM members to protest Musk's changes, conveying urgency about perceived risks from Twitter's evolving platform under Musk's leadership. In response, Twitter is suing the World Federation of Advertisers for alleged anti-competitive actions related to this boycott.
