Twitter has deemed the documentary The New Corporation political content that is ineligible for promotion on its platform.
The Canadian government will have to explain in court why it allows a giant social-media company to block advertisements for an indie film exposing a corporate charm offensive.
The New Corporation: The Unfortunately Necessary Sequel writer, codirector and executive producer Joel Bakan and the film’s marketer, Kat Dodds, are seeking court orders to force Twitter to accept boosted posts to advertise the film.
