Disney is being boycotted primarily because its ABC network suspended the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely following controversial comments made by Jimmy Kimmel about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This suspension has sparked claims of a violation of free speech and accusations that Disney is caving to political pressure. Many people see the suspension as an act of censorship, which has led to widespread calls on social media for boycotts of Disney and its subsidiaries, including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, and Disney parks. Prominent commentators and celebrities have urged fans to cancel their subscriptions and reduce spending on Disney products and services as a form of protest. This backlash is tied to broader concerns about government censorship and corporate responses to political controversies, making the issue a cultural flashpoint that has affected Disney's reputation and business operations.
