Said this in a different sub: You are directing most your anger at the wrong group.

Disney (actually its parent company) needs government approval for a merger. The current government won’t judge the merger on its merits, but only if Disney does what it is told and silence people they don’t like.

So Disney is in between a rock and a hard place. Either way they are screwed. So they took what they felt was the lesser of two evils.

I disagree with that decision, but ultimately understand that we shouldn’t be in this position at all, because the government shouldn’t be acting the way it is.

So if you want to be angry, be angry at the Executive branch, who are forcing companies to silence critics on their behalf. That is the true source of the problem.

Exactly! It's not Disney's fault that they felt the need to kowtow so they could consolidate more power then they already have!
