Mastercard says it will no longer make marketing decisions based on third-party views

Mastercard will no longer make marketing or branding decisions based on third-party views.

The credit card giant was a major part of a global network of companies that cracked down on conservative speech in the name of so-called misinformation.

A group of investors representing the Alliance Defending Freedom were prepping a resolution targeting Mastercard over its involvement with the Global Alliance for Responsible Media or GARM.

GARM targeted podcasters like Joe Rogan, platforms like Elon Musk’s X, and conservative outlets like The Daily Wire.
