How do execs not understand the Streisand Effect yet? If DeNiro had just made the speech and criticized Trump and the industry, I never would have read past the headline. Good for him for speaking out, but I'm good and over "celebrity bashes Trump" stories. Ah but Apple censors Trump criticism, well now you've got my click and my eyeballs. So dumb. Also evil. But mostly just dumb.

I work in a corporate. It is impressive how often people forget about the Streisand effect.

What worse is, I was thinking of watching the movie, but knowing it's Apple, and knowing all the control they try to push on the content, then maybe is not worth it.

Yo ho ho ho, come sail the high seas, friend.

I been there since 2010 but lately getting into cinematography so I was interested in cinematic experience.

Yeah, "famous actor insults Trump" is such a "dog bites man" story I never would have even registered it.

I've never even heard of this award show. There probably wouldn't even have been an article about it.

Yes, but now they have plausible deniability. They only care that they're not taking the blame for it, not that it's being said. "We tried to stop it, don't blame us".
