JONATHAN TURLEY: Twitter's board could find itself in court if their anti-free speech stance continues
Fox Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on the battle over Twitter on 'Fox Business Tonight.'
Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich went full Orwellian in explaining why freedom is tyranny. Reich insisted that "every dictator, strongman, demagogue and modern-day robber baron" pushed free speech to oppress people and that, while good for Musk, "for the rest of us, it would be a brave new nightmare."
Twitter's CEO and board decided a long time ago to pursue woke policies over profits. They are selling censorship to a public that wants more free speech.Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal has maintained that he wants to steer the company beyond free speech and that the issue is not who can speak but "who can be heard." The question, however, is whether shareholders will be heard by a Board that has decided to make censorship a critical goal of the company.
This fight is coming at a time when many academics are questioning the traditional view that boards and management should be committed to the overriding purpose of maximizing value for shareholders." Rather they argue that corporate figures should focus on advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance principles.
The result can be aligning corporate identity with controversial political positions like Disney's recent opposition to the Florida's parental rights bill on education, a move that has led to boycotts and possible retaliatory legislation. Such political agendas come at a cost and some shareholders may allege that they are being asked to effectively bankroll the social or political agenda of corporate officials.
