| 2021-05-30 |
| Direct translation of the article. Edited. [REGNUM] The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) sent a preventive letter to the Disney Channel reminding them of the inadmissibility of propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations among minors. This was reported on the website of the department. The decision to send a preventive letter came after Disney released the animated short Out. The main character of the short film has a non-traditional sexual orientation, while the film is aimed at a child audience. Roskomnadzor recalled that the dissemination of information among children that denies family values ​​and promotes non-traditional sexual relations is contrary to the norms of Russian legislation. Representatives of the TV channel were advised to strictly observe the laws of the Russian Federation and not to allow the dissemination of information that could harm the development of children.

| #16 Disney is not in trouble. Hate the Woke BS as much as anyone but the stock is a screaming buy. The parks are reopening and will finally contribute to earnings again. Pre-COVID those parks contributed 1/3 of Disney's revenues. Don't let your politics interfere with savvy investing. |

| #11 Can somebody please explain to me how wokeness helps profits? How are companies surviving revenue losses [if indeed they are suffering from them] from people just leaving them? Are people leaving them for other brands, alternatives? I don't understand what's the motive here if not profit. |

| #10 Like the 'executives' at Coke, they're trying to attract a small demographic by throwing away a third of their established demographic. |

| #9 Disney is in trouble on several fronts: ESPN is and has been bleeding subscribers for a while--so much so that Disney had to mention it in their SEC filings. The tanking Oscar ratings mean lower ad revenue for ABC, which Disney again had to comment on publicly. The California theme park was closed all last year. And watch this space--I would bet there is more to come. |

| #3 the inadmissibility of propaganda Yes, I like the sound of that. Wish we could summon the clarity and backbone needed to enforce that concept here |
