Racism is also a thing, should IMDB not include pictures? Or spousal information that might suggest or confirm that you are gay? These biases are no less real as a problem for actors than ageism.

Because it’s a horrible precedent. They need to focus on removing the agism, not slap on a band-aid that sets a horrible precedent.

I don’t get why imdb is fighting this so hard.

its about precedent though, no?

Probably along the lines of why other websites might argue that, say, posting a sex tape is protected

Because it’s a really weird targeting of them and only them. That law is designed to go after them specifically and they’re right to fight against that.

This bill would prohibit a commercial online entertainment employment service provider that enters into a contractual agreement to provide specified employment services to an individual paid subscriber...

I was unaware IMDB was one of those.

No, because “rotten tomatoes, wiki and Internet” are not commercial online entertainment employment service providers.

Reporting on the comment section. What a job.

Jesus, Hamilton, I’d expect your straw man argument to at least be less obvious.

That’s not what was written. He said to fight for both equally as hard, not choose one over the other. Are you still hungover from New Years?

Buuuttt the point he’s trying to make that you cavalierly ignored, isn’t wrong. Or you can keep doing what ya’ll’ve been doing. That’s worked.

Point to where he even implies it to be an “either-or” situation.

Nice strawman.

Maybe if the democrats fought fervently for unions the way they fought for transgender bathroom rights we wouldn’t be in this shitty conundrum.

So what? If the Unions brought value they would be getting higher membership dues. I pay my gym dues because I see value in the membership. I pay my kids pool dues because I see value in having access to water in the heat. I pay my healthcare costs because it brings me value.

That is accurate. Both are bad. One is worse, but that doesn’t mean the other should be gleefully celebrated.
