Freedom of association. On top of that, for all productions,. you are a face for the production. Your actions will affect how well the production goes, so how you present yourself online will dictate your employment. Don’t like it? Don’t get a job in entertainment.

“Hi, I’m Cara Arrakis, I just flew in from Alderaan! Who did I just accidentally land my ship on?”

America’s collective understanding of computers stops at angrily ranting into their twitter or facebook box. I think the majority of the population can’t tell you what operating system they’re running, much less understand why they should pay an extra penny per month for their utilities for something like a “firewall”

You claim you aren't a Trump supporter yet parrot their bullshit like a good little white supremacist.

It’s going to take someone getting killed due to IT negligence until we finally get licensing and minimum standards around IT infrastructure design and programming. 

Then maybe don’t think of it as “cancel culture” or even “consequence culture” which seems to be the new idiom. Think of it as free-market. This is exactly what the conservative/libertarian/right-wang have been banging on about for years and they are hating it now that it applies to them. The one shining light that

it ain’t like Hollywood has a large stable of bulked up women with both fighting and acting experience.

She was from Alderaan so I'm not sure what planet she died on the way to, but not her home planet. 

Bullshit. “Cancel culture” is an imaginary victim complex that conservatives made up in an attempt to avoid that ‘c’ word that they fear above all others...

Just before we have some of the usual ‘Cancel culture gone mad!’ comments, no, she is not being ‘cancelled’, she is facing the consequences of using a public platform, the internet equivalent of shouting out in the middle of the street, to make questionable comments, and Disney would rather not have to deal with it.

What’s keeping me from shitting all over this dealership?

Depends.

How about a speedtest that measures how fast your video *service* is to see if your ISP is deliberately slowing down whichever video streaming service didn’t pay them enough money? I don’t care if I get 200Mbps when I’m testing my home’s ISP via Speedtest, but I certainly do care if Netflix gets throttled down to
