Imagine a world where we lose the diversity of cinema, where one corporation dominates the entertainment landscape, and innovation takes a backseat. That's the future I fear if Netflix proceeds with its plans to acquire Warner Bros.

The independence of Warner Bros is crucial not only for the preservation of diverse storytelling but also for the sustenance of our beloved cinemas. Warner Bros, with its rich history and iconic films, has been a beacon of creativity and originality in the film industry. Its potential absorption into Netflix poses a significant threat to these values. It risks turning Warner Bros into just another content factory, prioritizing quantity over quality and pleasing algorithms rather than audiences.

Moreover, a merger of this magnitude would stifle competition, as it would strengthen the monopoly that already exists in the streaming world. With fewer players in the market, consumers will have less choice, higher prices, and a narrower variety of original content. Cinemas that have suffered during the pandemic will face even tougher challenges, struggling to compete with the massive streaming platforms.

Statistics show that mergers in the entertainment sector often lead to job losses, reduced content diversity, and restricted consumer choice. Warner Bros has provided thousands of jobs and supported countless creative endeavors – a legacy that must not be jeopardized by a single acquisition.

We must stand together to keep Warner Bros independent, to preserve the magic of cinema, and to ensure a vibrant, competitive, and diverse entertainment industry. Let's send a strong message to the decision-makers that we value independent storytelling and cherish the variety of voices that come with it.

I urge you to sign this petition to block the Netflix-Warner Bros acquisition. Let's protect the independence of our entertainment industry and the sanctity of our cinema experiences.
