Trump threatens Netflix with 'consequences' over Rice board seat | Fortune
"Rice, who was former President Barack Obama's national security adviser and United Nations ambassador and also served in Joe Biden's White House, said on a podcast that corporations, news organizations and law firms that went along with Trump's demands for loyalty now see their actions were unpopular. "They're going to be held accountable" if Democrats return to power, she said. "If they think Democrats are going to play by the old rules, they've got another thing coming.""
"Rice rejoined Netflix's board in 2023 after leaving the Biden administration. Netflix is in a bidding war with Paramount Skydance Corp. to buy Warner Bros Discovery Inc. Trump didn't specify in his social media post what "consequences" the streaming giant might face, but Trump has criticized other networks for content he doesn't like and Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has threatened networks' broadcast licenses. Netflix didn't immediately respond to a request for comment."
