The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is suing California over a law forcing the website to remove the ages of actors on request, saying it is unconstitutional.
The law was intended to fight age discrimination in the film industry and had been campaigned for by actors’ groups.
“This law unfairly targets IMDb.com (which appears to be the only public site impacted by the law) and forces IMDb to suppress factual information from public view.
IMDb says it is being unfairly targeted and that the law does not deal with the main cause of age discrimination.
