As a conspiratorial-minded chap, is this an opportunistic ploy, or was this movie specifically designed to function as a Trojan Horse to accelerate a fascist agenda of mass censorship?
Or just empty politics as usual? Something about this feels... different...
The right has had it in for netflix since Obummer got a deal with them. There is money behind stopping netflix due to traditional production companies and movie studios. I mean there's incentive to stop streaming all together by old Hollywood. Especially right now when theater attendance is way down and streaming is probably going to come out on top. The money will fund/support right wing politics to achieve their financial goals. As is tradition.
So yeah the right would love to end Netflix. They've been trying for years and now this is their chance.
