1. How? Limit the internet? Block websites? = censorship 2. Why? = since when does the government become responsible for my mistakes? 3. This means the government can dictate arbitrary issues of conduct, do you know what that potentially means??!

I think the government has enough on its plate.

Fred Colbern

No. Government is not your mommy or your daddy (despite popular belief). Whatever happened to self-control and personal responsibility.

Brian Klein

Self control is the way.

Why would anyone want more government intervention in to their life? Its not the responsibility of government to be all things for us as individuals.

Rachel Abudaram

Because everyone in the world loves social media. It’s a thing we all love

Mike Aronow

No one's taking away my SquareOffs! Plus, it's far too subjective for the government to get involved.

Cindy Jones

Government has no business in my Social Media.

Larry Ewart

I am with you Cindy!

And your sugar addition, and your alcohol and coffee intake, and your fast food intake...do you really want to give the government even more power?

I enjoy watching the glitz, glamour, and appreciation for artists and actors' great work.

I enjoy watching celebrities and award shows!

Patricia Quiroz-Alfaro

I vote for my favorite actors and awards also give me an idea of what I want to watch. Other than that winners don't matter to me.

Jeanette Johnson

I agree with you except I have to say when Jamie Lee Curtis won best supporting actress OMG I went completely crazy that right there is what makes me watch awards shows AND now these damn huge studios what don't they get without a script an idea there's no films tv to be made forget reality

Haven't watched any of them in decades. Who wants to see some very rich celebrities pat each other on the back and tell us all their political views?

Cause there all WOKE!!

Award shows are nothing more than self promotion of themselves. And act like self advertising. Like advertising, the less advertising the less popularity.

Garrett

The award shows once mattered. Since they have become so much more than a few once or twice a year but rather at least a 100, all with varying degrees of actual criteria beyond marketing campaigns and now the over-compensating “inclusive,” nature of certain categories going out of their way
