A major ad industry group is shutting down, days after Elon Musk-owned X filed a lawsuit that claimed the group illegally conspired to boycott advertising on his platform.
Rumble, X, etc no longer get access to ad companies, and ad companies have to agree to block X and Rumble in order to enjoy the benefits of the group. The group tries to restrict the market the same way a monopoly does, which is illegal.
By your logic, any group that organizes a boycott of any company is guilty of creating a monopoly. That is not how monopolies work, and it is also not illegal. It is a normal function of a free market.
