IMDb sues California to overturn law forcing them to remove actors' ages | Film | The Guardian

'The law was intended to fight age discrimination in the film industry and had been campaigned for by actors’ groups . '

'IMDb also claims it separately violates federal law “because it imposes liability on IMDb based on factual content that is lawfully posted by its users”. '

'The website criticises the state of California for passing the law, saying it has “chosen to chill free speech and undermine public access to factual information”. '

'The president of the union Sag-Aftra wrote in August that actors “face blatant age discrimination every day as websites routinely used for casting talent force birth dates and ages on casting decision-makers without their even realising it”. '

'The lawsuit asks the court to “declare that Assembly bill 1687 is unconstitutional and that IMDb cannot be liable for failing to censor factual public information,” and to declare a permanent injunction against its enforcement. '
