Disney files lawsuit against Florida Governor DeSantis over business impact.
TL;DR Summary
Disney is suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over what it calls a "relentless campaign to weaponize government power" after the governor's handpicked board declared a Disney-friendly deal null and void. The feud began when Disney criticized a controversial education bill advanced by DeSantis and other Florida Republicans. In its legal complaint, Disney accused DeSantis of punishing it for protected speech, threatening its business operations, jeopardizing its economic future in the region, and violating its constitutional rights. The lawsuit is a major escalation of the year-long clash between the entertainment giant and conservative governor.
