Disney V. Desantis Why Florida’s Governor Took on America’s Media Giant

The feud between Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis centers around the company's
political expression and the state's attempt to penalize Disney for it. The conflict began when Disney
opposed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. In response, DeSantis criticizing the company for prioritizing woke
culture over the interests of Florida citizens.
 The dispute escalated when DeSantis signed a bill into law that would penalize companies that
engage in political expression by withholding state incentives. Disney was one of the companies
affected by this law, as they received millions of dollars in tax incentives from the state of
Florida. Disney filed a lawsuit against DeSantis, arguing that the law violated their First Amendment
rights. The company claimed that the law was an attempt to silence their political expression and
punish them for exercising their constitutional rights. The feud between Disney and DeSantis
highlights the tension between corporations and politicians over the issue of political expression. It
also raises questions about the role of corporations in politics and the extent to which they should be
allowed to express their views.

governance.

2. What do you think would be the outcome if the corruptions or unfair practice were not
discovered per video?

I believe, if the corruption or unfair practices were not discovered per video, it could lead to a
number of negative consequences. Firstly, the individuals responsible for such actions may continue
to engage in such behavior, which can harm the affected parties and the wider society. It could also
lead to a loss of trust in the system and institutions meant to uphold fairness and justice. Ultimately,
the consequences of not discovering or addressing such corruptions or unfair practices can be far-
reaching and detrimental to society as a whole.
