[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So in the twitter/musk thread people are saying "free speech doesn’t mean without consequences" but here Disney can’t be punished because of "free speech". Which is it?[/quote]

Are you really that dumb?  Did you not take any high school government class?
The GOVERNMENT can not restrict free speech.
Private people are free to say and do whatever the heck you want in response to private people.

Correct.  Now explain to the class how revoking a corporation's special privileges is restricting free speech.

Disney can say whatever they want, they aren't entitled to government handouts while they do so.[/quote]

"Speech" is more than you and me talking. Actions can be speech (e.g. the NH "Live free or Die" license plate case is the classic law school example of this). Similarly, corporations have first amendment rights. REPUBLICANS usually LOVE that fact, except when they don't. Sorry, sweetie. You are flatly incorrect. When a government targets a specific corporation for punishment for free speech, which is exactly what happened here, that is a 1st amendment violation. This is not a "privileges" or "handouts" issue, though nice try on that one. It's a constitutional rights issue. [/quote]
