> business competitors They're not competitors, they're customers; WFA is a worldwide association of smaller marketing associations and multinational corporations: https://www.wfanet.org/about-wfa/our-members/global-brands https://www.wfanet.org/about-wfa/our-members/global-brands The marketing associations include purchasers, advertising/marketing agencies, and yes, other ad providers. > colluding You need to look up that word in the dictionary. An industry trade group publicly announcing (with press releases and an entire website) something is not collusion. > for political reasons "Twitter doesn't do anything about hate speech, has re-instated numerous people whose sole identity is gender, racial, sexual orientation, and ethnicity based bigotry and the CEO repeatedly makes white supremacist comments - and thus the platform is not safe for our members or brands or in line with their policies/'values'" is not "political." Musk is a supposed free speech absolutist/purist. To an extreme degree, I might add; he claims even a social media company deplatforming people is a violation of someone's free speech rights and was his motivation for purchasing Twitter. Yet he routinely bans people from his platform for even mentioning unflattering things about him or his companies, and conveniently seems to forget that freedom of association is part of the first amendment. Then there's the journalist-banning bender Twitter has been on since Musk bought it which is not at all compatible with being a first amendment extreme absolutist. The fact that the Kingdom of Saud was a major financial backer in the purchase and really, really doesn't like the platform twitter provides for journalists has nothing to do with all of this /s At least he's consistent about being inconsistent.
