Block the $111B Paramount-Warner Bros. Monopoly


Block the $111B Paramount-Warner Bros. Monopoly
The Issue
We, the undersigned creators, journalists, and fans, call on the Department of Justice Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission to block the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery.
Why it matters:
Market Dominance: A single entity controlling 40% of the box office kills independent cinema and raises prices for every household.
Information Risk: Merging CNN and CBS under billionaire David Ellison threatens news plurality during a critical era for democracy.
Job Destruction: We refuse to accept the loss of 10,000+ industry jobs to pay off corporate debt.
Our Demand: We urge FTC Chair Lina Khan to exercise her authority to prevent this "duopoly" and protect the creative economy.
