Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has criticized companies including Comcast and Disney for having a double standard regarding their recent decision to boycott U.S. social media app X, as they’ve not done the same with Chinese-owned TikTok.
In letters sent to the CEOs of 18 companies on Dec. 12, Mr. Rubio, a senior member of the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, said his office had conducted a review and found that their boycott “originated with the left-wing advocacy group” Media Matters. X, formerly Twitter, has filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit for defamation for charging the platform with promoting pro-Nazi content.
