Hawley to introduce legislation targeting Disney copyright protections

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said he plans to file legislation this week targeting the copyright protections of Disney and “woke corporations.”

Hawley made the announcement in a Monday afternoon tweet, although he didn’t provide details about what the legislation would entail. Other Republican lawmakers have previously suggested that they might try to use an expiring copyright on Mickey Mouse to punish Disney for its opposition to a controversial Florida education bill.
