More Censorship May be Heading Our Way (Does Hollywood Care?)

There’s a good reason the FCC can crack down on shows like ABC’s “The View” or “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

The programs are part of the public airwaves. Existing legislation can moderate that content, to a degree. That explains why “equal time” rules coaxed CBS to punt an interview with Democrat James Talerico to the company’s YouTube channel.

Streamers and cable companies operate under far fewer restrictions, at least in the U.S.

Now, Great Britain is threatening to censor content streaming into the country from the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Disney and more.

The UK government says these companies “will have to comply with broadcasting regulations aimed at protecting children and the vulnerable.”

The vulnerable, you say? That’s a loaded term that can be applied liberally. And, since England has been attacking free speech on social media, the verbiage is nothing less than chilling.
