Good work, X: Elon Musk’s social-media company is fighting back against Global Alliance for Responsible Media, a shady cabal aimed at suppressing speech in the name of fighting disinformation.
Under CEO Linda Yaccarino, X has brought an anti-trust lawsuit against GARM, its parent the World Federation of Advertisers and several of the big-name companies who belong to the WFA.
A quick recap: GARM is an outfit formed under the WFA — a global cartel that controls 90% of world ad spending — and led by authoritarian bottom-feeder Rob Rakowitz.
Using now-discredited tools like the Global Disinformation Index (and guided by glaring political biases), Rakowitz and his merry band of online goons deploy ad boycotts against websites they claim spread alleged mis- and disinformation.
Yet the info in question is (shocker!) often 100% legit.
Like The Post’s scoops on Hunter Biden’s laptop, or now-widely accepted arguments that COVID may have originated in a Wuhan lab.
Some sites, like RealClearPolitics and Reason, get blacklisted simply for being right- or libertarian-leaning.
Remember, kids: “Disinformation” is a term of art that usually means “facts that are inconvenient for Democrats.”
And Rakowicz bragged in emails about targeting X once Musk nixed the old Twitter censorship regime; the GARM goon then whined and ducked and dodged when called on it by the House Judiciary Committee in a recent hearing.

Nor is the X lawsuit the only legal trouble looming for these partisan speech cops.
At least two state attorneys general, Missouri’s Andrew Bailey and Montana’s Austin Knudsen, are reportedly mulling possible moves as well.
(Funny how Biden’s anti-trust bulldog, FTC head Lina Khan, doesn’t seem too worried about this collusion. We’re sure it’s not for political reasons.)
The information war that leftists are waging against anyone who dares disagree is one of the most disturbing developments of recent years.
That X and others are fighting back is great news.
They need to keep hitting, hard, in the name of freedom.
