ABC reinstated Kimmel after public backlash against censorship.

Question

Accepted Answer

ABC brought Kimmel back on September 20 after Disney+ lost 500,000 subscribers in 48 hours and advertisers threatened boycotts. The backlash showed economic power can check government censorship: when consumers punish companies for caving to authoritarian threats, corporations resist. But smaller broadcasters without Disney's resources stayed silent. Nexstar and Sinclair kept Kimmel off 40+ markets permanently, proving that FCC threats successfully silenced criticism in communities where local stations lack corporate backing to resist.
