Significance
The row between DeSantis and Disney highlights the risk that ‘culture wars’ politics can pose to large companies that take positions in response to the increasing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Impacts
Disney will not abandon a leading global tourist attraction, instead challenging the dissolution legislation in court.
Changing the administrative status of the land around Disney World could allow more building, with environmental consequences.
DeSantis may revisit Disney’s exemption from his bill to stop social media companies from banning candidates from their platforms.
