Additionally, as a publicly held company, these vivid exhibitions of biased censorship are completely taboo; they damage the company’s stock, which is a violation of the corporation’s fiduciary duty to its shareholders.
Any action taken by a company that damages the market value of its stock, harms investors and can be taken up with the SEC in a complaint. If the action was not in direct furtherance of the company’s business plan, and especially if the action was blatantly contrary to it, the company can be sued, assessed punitive damages and made to restore lost value to its investors.
