Disney vetoaa ilmaisunvapauteen ja haluaa, että oikeusjuttu Gina Caranon kanssa unohdetaan

Star Wars: The Mandalorianissa kunnostautui Gina Carano, joka ilmaisi poliittisia mielipiteitään Twitterissä eli X-palvelussa. Potkut tuli. Sittemmin Carano haastoi Disneyn oikeuteen laittomasta irtisanomisesta, ja rahoituksen oikeustaistoon tarjosi Elon Musk.

Disneyn mukaan Caranon "antisemiittinen tviitti koskien toisen maailmansodan holokaustia" oli riittävä peruste irtisanomiselle, johon Disneyllä oli oikeus Yhdysvaltain työlainsäädännön nojalla. Deadlinen mukaan Disney omasta mielestään harjoitti ilmaisunvapauttaan, ja saman teki tietysti myös Carano.

Jupakka siis jatkuu edelleen.

"Carano's social-media usage sunk to its nadir on February 10, 2021. On that day, she reposted an Instagram post from user warriorpriestgympodcast. The post read: 'Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors...even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?'

"Disney had enough. The same day Carano grotesquely trivialized the Holocaust as comparable to sharp political disagreements, Lucasfilm announced that 'Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.' A month later, Disney's former CEO explained that Carano's views 'didn't align with Company values,' including its 'values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity, and values of inclusion."
