AT&T sues ad industry watchdog instead of pulling ads that slam T-Mobile

I'm kinda surprised that AT&T went ahead with the lawsuit instead of just pulling the ads 🤔. I get where they're coming from, but using a previous NAD decision in your ad without getting permission seems like a pretty big loophole 🚧. The NAD's rules are meant to be clear and consistent, so it's frustrating that AT&T is trying to spin this as not being against the rules 🙄. I'm curious to see how the courts decide on this one - will they side with the NAD or AT&T? Either way, it's a good reminder for all of us to stay vigilant when it comes to ads and to fact-check before we believe what we're hearing 💡.
