The companies cited \"political content\" as the reason for turning down the trailer for the October 9 documentary.\n\nThe decision to decline ads for the documentary was reported by The Hollywood Reporter.\n\nA separate case involving Meta's Facebook was recently decided in New Mexico, where a jury found the company liable for deceiving users about privacy protections on the platform. The jury found over 43 million violations of state consumer protection law, and it is now up to the judge to determine the penalty.",
