FCC chair launches investigation into Disney over DEI

The Federal Communications Commission has notified The Walt Disney Company of an investigation into its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to ensure compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr stated he is reviewing Disney's diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, mentioning concerns similar to those in ongoing investigations at Comcast and Verizon.

In response to the investigation, a Disney spokesperson said, 'We are reviewing the Federal Communications Commission's letter, and we look forward to engaging with the commission to answer its questions.'

The FCC's scrutiny comes after former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at U.S. Corporations.
