  • Popular ticketing platform Eventbrite has refused to provide ticketing services for multiple conservative events in the past year, citing purported violations of its policies.
  • In late February, the website removed from its page for a Matt Walsh event on transgenderism sponsored by Young America’s Foundation at Stanford University. Organizers were forced to set up an alternative event page just before Walsh’s appearance.
