What happened: The publisher of Franklin the Turtle and singer Sabrina Carpenter have publicly objected to their works being used in posts by the Trump administration.
Why it matters:
- It highlights concerns over unauthorised use of creative content in political messaging.
- Fans and rights holders may be affected by the misuse of intellectual property.
MNN Take: Creators and publishers often seek to control how their work is used, especially in political contexts, to protect their brand and message.
