There is something unprincipled about “adjusting the relationship” if it’s done to punish political speech, which obviously this was.

When an unprincipled but expedient public/private business relationship runs up against important cultural principles that voters are allowed to care about, then that business relationship can be adjusted, of course within the law. The voters are allowed to pick and choose with whom they do business. They are allowed to vote for politicians who will make those choices on their behalf. They would not be allowed to throw Disney management in prison or sick the IRS on them.
