First time i heard about this crazy law. Talk about dismantling free speech...
IMDb Challenges California over Law Requiring It to Remove Actors' Ages - Breitbart
jan 9 2016 The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is fighting a California law which states that websites must respond to individual requests from actors to have their birthdate removed from the website.
The law, which was purportedly implemented to prevent ageism within the film industry, seemed to focus on websites such as IMDs who list the birth dates, age and personal information of many leading Hollywood actors. Under the new law IMDb would be forced to remove information about an actor’s age if personally requested by the actor. IMDb, however, is refusing to do so, challenging the decision in court and claiming that the law is a threat to free speech.
