Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
A New Jersey bar cancelled a Springsteen cover band performance following the band's anti-Trump comments, representing potential political retaliation in the private sector.
Private business cancelling entertainment act based on political speech. While touches civil_rights (1/5 - private sector political discrimination), this is a commercial transaction between private parties with no state action, no constitutional mechanism engaged. Scope_modifier 0.5 (local, narrow population), mechanism_modifier 0.7 (information_operation but no government involvement). A-score: 1×0.8×0.8×0.8×0.7×0.5=0.39. B-score elevated by culture war framing (Springsteen/Trump/New Jersey nexus), media-friendly narrative (22/40 Layer1=12.1, 11/40 Layer2=4.95, intent 4→0.13 weight→4.95×1.13=5.59), total 17.09. Classic noise: private commercial decision with zero constitutional implications amplified through political lens.
IGNORE - Private business transaction with no state action or constitutional mechanism. Monitor only if pattern emerges of government-compelled cancellations or regulatory retaliation against venues for political booking decisions.
