Every rock you lift up in looking at where SESTA's support has come from, you magically find Hollywood people scurrying quietly around. We've already noted that much of the initial support for SESTA came from a group whose then board chair was a top lobbyist for News Corp.. And, as we reported last month, after a whole bunch of people we spoke to suggested that much of the support for SESTA was being driven by former top News Corp. lobbyist, Rick Lane, we noticed that a group of people who went around Capitol Hill telling Congress to support SESTA publicly thanked their "partner" Rick Lane for showing them around.

In other words, it's not just Hollywood seeing a bill that gets them what it wants and suddenly speaking up in favor of it... this is Hollywood helping to make this bill happen in the first place as part of its ongoing effort to remake the internet away from being a communications medium for everyone, and into a broadcast/gatekeeper dominated medium where it gets to act as the gatekeeper.

Full on attack on the internet and people's right to share content and ideas, basically an attack on people's 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.

Tie this in with the Marriott person fired for 'liking' a post on accident, or on purpose really, that was driven by China not wanting the company to recognize Tibet, and China's large investments in Hollywood and Hollywood's appeasement of those aims, and you have a scary situation where internet content and thoughts could be regulated by people in more authoritarian regimes around the world.

Hollywood used to spread ideas of liberty, living a good life and democracy, now we have them actively exploiting side issues for their aim of content filtering, and we have other countries dictating what free people can do with the internet, full on attack on freedoms and a strike against progress and the idea of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'.
