I don’t think I’ve ever seen Deadline pull an about-face *this* abruptly. Matt Damon’s lawyers must’ve REALLY got in that ass, lol. pic.twitter.com/NnuwWjRsD0

Kenneth Branagh was at the same premiere and they did it to him too.

Deadline is clearly doing this on purpose.

lots of misinformation on tiktok regarding what is or isn’t scabbing when it comes to influencers doing paid promo during the #actorsstrike #writersstrike so I decided to weigh in (cc: @Straw_Hat_Goofy) pic.twitter.com/uFtSzywURa

everyone was dragging SHG yesterday I think he's backtracking now

Misinformation and TikTok are like bread and butter. I thought younger people were more skeptical than the boomers/gen-x and even some elder millennials but here we are. Hopefully, they can learn later when the info is wrong because the older generations never learn.

If anything TikTok is worse because it's so hard to include links to anything besides other TikToks so sourcing is complete garbage.

the memes have been funny lol. This was so blatant and I'm happy they got called out in such an embarrassing and public way.

Matt Damon: Seatbelts are seen as a major inconvenience, but I am forever grateful for them. A seatbelt saved my life when my car flipped 5 times. I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for seatbelts.

Deadline: Matt Damon hates seatbelts! Says they're a "Major inconvenience!" https://t.co/Nb6Zc8eAun

Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, and Variety are all owned by (and members of) the AMPTP. So, they will be pushing anti-union rhetoric HARD for the next few months. Get used to seeing misleading tweets like this twisting words to push anti-union agendas from the major trades. pic.twitter.com/PPDlFnsc2b
