They own the site, dumbass. They can shut up whoever they like. Also who the fuck actually posts on IMDB?

they realized goyim were spreading the redpill and decided to act
soon they'll come to our 4chins, it's just a matter of time

Sounds like you are a newborn. Heaps of people chatted on IMDB back in the day

The Seinfeld threads were very comfy

Yeah, I'm already aware. The thing is, they don't have to.

>the phone call that killed the IMDB boards

((They)) realized with Hollywood cranking the propaganda up to level 11 its better to just disable all ability for people to communicate about it rather than risk redpills dropping.

when you have movies like "Sweetness in the Belly" coming out its too hard to shill/slide so they just got rid of it completely

>private companies must allow free speech

enjoy your small state capitalism, alt-right

Private companies don't have to cater to your opinions but they do have to cater to your choice of sex partners.

if you read the imdb boards, you're an idiot. right of management to silence you.

what the fuck

Are they retarded? Their message boards default to viewing one post at a time, so I guess so

We will when someone inevitably makes a competing site with message boards and everyone goes there instead

maybe it'll finally get people to stop going out and supporting these shit films.

i wouldn't be surprised if any film nowadays is nothing more than a money laundering scheme

You realize IMDb is a private entity and is therefore entitled to enforce its own rules, right? IMDb isn't a government body imprisoning you for being edgy lol

They're making a terrible mistake. The message boards were literally the only reason I ever even went to the site.

people will just find some other site to talk about specific movies

IMDb message boards are (were) to movies what gameFAQs message boards are to games

>Private companies DONT have to cater to your opinions goy
>But they DO have to cater to what gender xir feel today


????

honestly there are message boards for every type of film. if you're into classic, horror, etc you can find a place to discuss them with likeminded people.

that said, the userbase of that site is and was the lowest common denominator. good riddance.

Hey retard. Guess what? IMDb is not a governing body.

yeah, can't wait for the 21st century

>muh free speech

Private companies should just ban Muslims from using their comment sections. It would be okay after all since it's not the government doing it.

>le "it's not censorship if it's not the government" meme

The first amendment is useless because it doesn't cover the internet. Everything you do online is standing on a private corporations piece of property and they are not bound by free speech. Nobody gives a fuck if you stand on a street corner with a sign because, at best, 50 people are going to hear you but online a million or more can hear/see you in a matter of hours so tell me, where does the 1A actually matter.

How many times have you posted this?

>they don't allow me to spray graffiti on their walls

Retarded amerilard doesn't understand his own constitution

>haha don't have to allow free speech on my website but you MUST bake gays a cake :^)

don't be silly op is obviously hungarian

And that was the moment you realized that public pressure is more effective than government censorship could ever be.

>someone walks into your store and starts loudly discussing how they love dead babies
>other customers are clearly uncomfortable and want to leave now
>you're not allowed to kick the asshole out of your own privately owned store or tell him to shut up

'no'

Thank god. Those message boards have always been complete and total shit.

Learn what the First Amendment actually is so you stop looking like an idiot.

they are under literally no obligation to provide you a free speech outlet

Correct.

>contrarian shitposting basement dweller is upset that at least one site no longer welcomes his toxicity
Cry me a river.

Touche

>The first amendment is useless
>where does the 1A actually matter
what fucking point are you trying to make? the 1A protects you from being imprisoned for your beliefs.

if you work in a bakery, you're likely a faggot anyway

Cinemos when

>where does the 1A actually matter.
Notice how you're not currently in prison for making statements disparaging the government? Why do you think that is, genius?

And the cops can't prevent you from standing on the street and holding up a sign, unless it's directly calling to violence. Which should also apply to the internet since nobody gives a fuck about one single street corner but you can reach millions through social media. So you tell me, which is more important to free speech?

Why are neckbeards so worked up about some dead old message board dying?

It reminds me of all the nerd rage when AOL shut down their chatrooms. It's a dead medium

You have the right to free speech, that doesn't mean everyone is obligated to provide you with a forum for said speech.

I mean I'm not going to stop you from saying what you want but I don't want you standing on my lawn and shouting it out.

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

i want to ask again what point you're trying to make. but clearly english is your second language or you're retarded.

nevermind dude. go read a book or the wikipedia on free speech or something.

Both are equally important. Which is why the government doesn't impede on free speech online. Move that guy with a sign to the inside of a privately owned business or residence, and there still wouldn't be a free speech violation if the owner gives him the boot.

What you're advocating is active government policing of the internet, to prevent private businesses from controlling what gets said on the websites that they themselves own. What you're apparently unaware of is that this is a profoundly stupid fucking idea.

>something something gay cake

>no companies dont have the right to moderate their own sites!

grow the fuck up faggot. you cant go in to a store and start yelling about niggers without them kicking you out and/or calling the cops.

Because twelve-year-olds get up in arms about MUH FREEZE PEACH because they're idiots.

this. it's a shit thing for imdb to do but they've got no legal power so who cares? just stop using their site if you care so much, it makes their site worse but they're not obligated to let you have your say

If you live in the U.S.A. and want to start your own website and use it to disseminate your speech you're absolutely free to do so. You could also choose to allow or limit others from expressing their right to free speech within a website that you own, as it would be your website.

An internet forum isn't like a street corner, it's like someone's book club meeting. You're essentially crying that you can't walk into an establishment screaming about cuckolding. This site is the worst anywhere and totally irredeemable at this point, and that's because obnoxious, trash like you are inexplicably allowed to use it.

Literally Reddlt: The post

You know there's a reply feature right?

well fuck them then

You are an absolute fucking idiot who has just contradicted himself.

>Kick out the person from the store who is making everyone uncomfortable
This is not what the faggots at IMDB have done. They have closed down the entire store because someone made an uncomfortable remark. They have closed down the entire message boards so no good customers can use it due to some bad customers saying bad stuff.

Entirely the opposite of your store story

So in this case, YouTube has the right to disable the comment section and you would be fine with that?

Fuck off you piece of shit. I cannot believe you allow IMDB to shut down the message boards and deny access to free speech which is what they are doing.

they don't have to let you do anything, that is what private enterprise is all about in a market economy, personal control. Which is why business and government fight because they try to force standards on business.

They could shut that website down tomorrow and let some other agency run a website for actors/producers and that would be it.

Is it though? Is the reason for the site shutting down its message board really political? It was kind of always a cesspool filled with trolls and retards.

You are so pathetic.

So you are okay if YouTube shut down their comments section?

>they don't have to let you do anything
So you are okay if YouTube shut down their comments?

>Is the reason for the site shutting down its message board really political?
Of course it fucking is as well as people trolling but who the fuck cares? There are actually good thread discussions and now we will never get to have that.

Instead I have to hope Sup Forums doesn't shitpost whenever I post about a certain movie because there will be no separate movie forum (inb4 reddit) that place with the downvoting system fucking sucks.

This. IMDb's message boards were the most toxic, cancerous community I've seen, more so than even this godforsaken site. I'm glad it's gone.

I don't think that would be some huge loss of valuable culture. And even then people usually stay on topic in YouTube comments, which is more than I can say for IMDb.

>turn the place into a shithole that barely talks about movies
>make the experience negative for people that want to actually talk about the movies
>woah! why is this company removing this feature?

You are all fucking idiots if you defend IMDB

>YouTube has the right to disable the comment section
They do

Why does anyone think this is bad? The boards weren't Sup Forums or Sup Forums. They were off-topic all the time and good discussion about the film was incredibly rare. it was mostly just a bunch of retards faffing about.

This. Youtube comments add no value to anything especially when it's always fucktards typing stupid shit. Shut it all down I say.

Anyone can create a website to say what they want

You can find hundreds of commie, nazi, anarchist, ISIS websites and others that say anything they want

How about you provide an argument instead of just calling people retards? If you really want to prove that we're wrong you're gonna have to act like it.

I don't care, giving everyone a way to express their opinion was a mistake.

>THEY DO NOT ALLOW FREE SPEECH
what? they aren't doing anything to stop you creating your own great movie site and posting your own comments and ideas. why are you such a retarded autistic fuck?

>They have closed down the entire message boards so no good customers can use it due to some bad customers saying bad stuff.
Which is still not a violation of free speech. That business owner can close his business for whatever the fuck reason he wants.

didn't they say they are replacing it with something more modern?

This is all ironic shitposting, right? There's no way this many retards have such a fundamental misunderstanding of what free speech entails, is there?

>all
sadly most probably not

who the fuck cares? since when has IMDB been the go to place to discuss movies?
