Ripple's lawyer is furious at Jimmy Kimmel: "Doesn't lie..."

Disney-owned ABC has suspended late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel, sparking a debate on freedom of speech. John Deaton, a cryptocurrency lawyer known for defending Ripple (XRP), refuted claims that the moratorium was a state-led attack on freedom of speech, arguing that Disney was not a state actor and noting that the First Amendment threatened even more after the Biden administration came to power. Senator Cynthia Lummis linked the dispute to the exclusion of cryptocurrency banks, likening it to suppressing objections. The incident highlights the broader role of cryptocurrencies in promoting fairness and freedom of speech.
