Here's who has come out against the Netflix/Warner Bros. deal:
-Writers Guild
-Directors Guild
-SAG-AFTRA
-documentary filmmakers
-theater owners
So all of Hollywood.
They aren't opposing this because they secretly want a Paramount merger, it's because the deal will harm their livelihoods.

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding array of production facilities added another major hub this week with the official opening of PlayMaker Studios, a state-of-the-art filmmaking complex located in Qiddiya City, just outside Riyadh. The launch coincides with the start of pre-production on Unbroken Sword, a large-scale historical action feature directed by Game of Thrones and House of Cards veteran Alik Sakharov, which will be the first project to shoot at the facility.

The use of ‘nudify’ apps is becoming more and more prevalent, with hundreds of teachers having seen images created by pupils, often of their peers. The fallout is huge – and growing fast

fining used to be a deterrent.....for billionaires a tiny fine of 140 million is chump change....in fact it's priced into doing shitty things.....make companies feel the wrongs they do.
the EU has fined X (Twitter) $140 million over "deceptive" blue checkmarks. "Deceiving users with blue checkmarks, obscuring information on ads and shutting out researchers have no place online in the EU," says the bloc’s tech chief www.theverge.com/news/645154/...

I don’t want to use a single year as an example of a trend, but I will say 2025 was a year where international features far outran Hollywood. It Was Just an Accident, Sentimental Value, No Other Choice, Resurrection, and more showed how more voices are getting their work seen and appreciated.
