Good. I've changed my mind. Let them fight it out, The Valley has long since abandoned the moral high-ground over Hollywood's attempts to control the internet. If Hollywood can kick them around a bit: great, they deserve it.
Facebook created a consolidation of control, so that they could use their newfound power to exercise their will over other people. They put a target on their own back, and on the backs of every last person running online systems in general.
That's the cost of creating control levers. You alone don't get to set them because nobody is ever - or has ever been - at the top of every power hierarchy simultaneously.
The problem was never that Hollywood wanted to use the government to tell me what I could and couldn't do. The problem was that they wanted to tell me what I could and coudn't do.
