IMDb shuts down its message boards
Summary: In a statement on its website, the IMDb said it had “concluded that IMDb’s message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide”, and that the decision was “based on data and traffic”. The company said the "shift to social media had made the message boards less vital; users, they said, had “migrated to IMDb’s social media accounts as the primary place they choose to post comments and communicate with IMDb’s editors and one another”. The message boards will be permanently disabled on 20 February, following a two-week transition period.

My Opinion: Does this go against that audience are able always to voice their opinion on the internet and the internet is democratic? But then in other ways you also see it as, many audience members take advantage of the messaging board and use it negatively which can be then see as a disturbance to the much majority of the people. Or it could be that audience know feel though as if they don't want to comment down below about the movie but elsewhere; social media.
