No, I am saying that what threatens "brand safety" is attacks by organizations via the media. (See an example in my other answer about the NBC News article). Those organizations have the power to decide your politics by threatening to shame your advertisers for the fact that they advertise on your platform. They get to decide which content is "problematic" and which platforms should be singled out. And if a self-appointed "anti-hate group" says that there are too many nazis on a platform, the advertisers are not going to take the risk of arguing that the numbers are irrelevant or that they're not convinced.

What's not problematic about Andrew Anglin? What business would want to appear next to him? When the guy who owns outright a social media site welcomes people like Anglin, do you really think anyone needs to decide someone's politics?
Amusing fact: When Linda Yaccarino ran all of NBCUniversal's ad sales, NBCUniversal was a member of GARM.
