• Rep. Tim Burchett said he will work to bring Netflix executives before Congress to question the company over children’s programming, and Musk reposted the call with "Good."
• The online campaign spread across X and other platforms as users shared cancellation screenshots and conservative influencers amplified allegations of a "woke" or "sexualized" agenda.
