Hulu, a streaming service partially owned by Disney, will not be running Democratic midterm ads on themes like abortion, gun control, or climate change, prompting controversy and outrage from many political leaders.

Although many conservatives did not see it necessary to boycott due to the blocking of Democratic ads, many found this to be another example of censorship, a growing topic in today’s world.
