What I find really interesting is the lack of self-awareness among the conservatives who, in one breath, play at being first-amendment enthusiasts, for purposes of condemning Facebook and Twitter for fighting disinformation on their platforms, but then turn around and cheer DeSantis for abusing the powers of the state to punish a company for their leaders having criticized some legislation DeSantis supported. Obviously, a true first-amendment enthusiast would be much more alarmed by THE GOVERNMENT using its power to try to chill political speech, than they would about private forums tailoring the material on their platforms as part of honing their business model.DeSantis signs bill revoking Disney’s special self-governing status in Florida
The move comes after Disney criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing a bill that prevents classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation through the third grade.www.nbcnews.com
Disney may as well relocate to a more accomodating state. I would. Florida is too screwed up politically and Orlando is way too humid.
Of course!DeSantis signs bill revoking Disney’s special self-governing status in Florida

They can say what ever they want but they will not have the sweetheart deal with Florida anymore.What I find really interesting is the lack of self-awareness among the conservatives who, in one breath, play at being first-amendment enthusiasts, for purposes of condemning Facebook and Twitter for fighting disinformation on their platforms, but then turn around and cheer DeSantis for abusing the powers of the state to punish a company for their leaders having criticized some legislation DeSantis supported.

In a nutshell! Thank you Mina for your concise observation.What I find really interesting is the lack of self-awareness among the conservatives who, in one breath, play at being first-amendment enthusiasts, for purposes of condemning Facebook and Twitter for fighting disinformation on their platforms, but then turn around and cheer DeSantis for abusing the powers of the state to punish a company for their leaders having criticized some legislation DeSantis supported.

They can say what ever they want but they will not have the sweetheart deal with Florida anymore.
If fact they can hold a press conference now. Go on Twitter or Face book and spill their guts. Many have been
banned on Twitter or Face book because of their conservative views. Everyone know that.
Babbling about chilling speech. You guys have been cheering it all-long.
Of course!
Just forget the all the money invested in Florida?
Some where around 1. 3 billion.
Older appraisal
The Orange County Appraisers office, which includes all of Orlando, has appraised the Disney World property to be worth over 1.3 billion dollars in their 2011 estimate, as listed on Reference.com. Disney has significantly made money on the land alone and nearby hotels sprang up at an astounding rate to handle the swarms of Disney World park patrons.
They are not moving anywhere!!
The hope, among alt-right politicians like DeSantis, is that if people expect the government to punish them economically when they say something the alt-right politicians don't want to be said, they'll censor themselves. That, obviously, is far more of a first-amendment concern than the content decisions of a private forum.They can say what ever they want but they will not have the sweetheart deal with Florida anymore.

You misunderstand defending their right to voice their opinion versus the corporate opportunists they are.It's intriguing, watching leftists defend one of the largest corporations in the US.
Well, that's what's so interesting about all this - the supposed fight for "freedom of expression" versus corporate advantages not enjoyed by any other major corporation in the state.You misunderstand defending their right to voice their opinion versus the corporate opportunists they are.
I have a home very near Disney World....we never go to their rip off parks...but as much as I dislike Disney their right to freedom of expression must not be suppressed by the government ...it is fundamentally wrong to do so.
Truth. Punitive legislation is the opposite of free speech. This may in fact be an actual first amendment violation.What I find really interesting is the lack of self-awareness among the conservatives who, in one breath, play at being first-amendment enthusiasts, for purposes of condemning Facebook and Twitter for fighting disinformation on their platforms, but then turn around and cheer DeSantis for abusing the powers of the state to punish a company for their leaders having criticized some legislation DeSantis supported.

Hypocrisy among Republicans. Who’da thunk it.What I find really interesting is the lack of self-awareness among the conservatives who, in one breath, play at being first-amendment enthusiasts, for purposes of condemning Facebook and Twitter for fighting disinformation on their platforms, but then turn around and cheer DeSantis for abusing the powers of the state to punish a company for their leaders having criticized some legislation DeSantis supported.

Horse shit.Many have been banned on Twitter or Face book because of their conservative views. Everyone know that.

Well this is true. Florida offered the incentives because they wanted Disney. I don't dispute that. Nor do I blame Disney for accepting the incentives.Florida freely and willingly offered Disney many incentives to locate its proposed Disney World resort in Florida.
Don't blame Disney for accepting the offered incentives. And Florida reaps increased tourism due to attractions like Disney World.
Is it your opinion then that the government can punish businesses for expressing their political views?Well this is true. Florida offered the incentives because they wanted Disney. I don't dispute that. Nor do I blame Disney for accepting the incentives.
....but at that time I also doubt that neither Florida nor Disney was imagining those incentives gave Disney carte blanche freedom to opine on the social mores - or politics of the day, let alone on those of the present day.
And when the recipient of special incentives back when thinks they're immune to any fallout for criticizing the entity who gave them those incentives today - well, Florida has proven them wrong.
20 million visitors a year. Almost half a million employees. Yeah, Florida is being screwed.Florida freely and willingly offered Disney many incentives to locate its proposed Disney World resort in Florida.
Don't blame Disney for accepting the offered incentives. And Florida reaps increased tourism due to attractions like Disney World.
