A US judge has ruled in favor of Florida governor Ron DeSantis in a lawsuit filed by Disney, stating that the company lacked standing to sue the governor. The lawsuit accused DeSantis of orchestrating a campaign of "government retaliation". The dispute between Disney and DeSantis started when Florida tightened its oversight of Disney's amusement park, following the company's criticism of a state law that limited the teaching of sexuality in schools. The ruling stated that the changes made by the state were legally permissible and did not pose any imminent harm to Disney. In response, Disney has stated that it will continue to pursue the case, arguing that the moves by the state threaten its business and violate its free speech rights.
