Back to school isn’t just for August. (Prime Day had retailers push back to school deals early this year.) Celebrating all things frightening isn’t solely for autumn. (Throughout July, people were making jack-o-lanterns out of watermelons and purchasing Halloween garb months in advance as part of a newly dubbed “holiday” called Summerween.)

Lawsuits against GARM call into question the politics behind brand safety

Looks like it’s open season on ad industry powerhouses.

First, Elon Musk launched a antitrust legal assault on the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), accusing the trade group of acting like a mob to block ad dollars from his platform, X.
