Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered removal of an ad campaign for 'Man In The High Castle,' an alt-history TV show about the dangers of fascism. //

The ad campaign had been approved by the Metropolitan Transit Authority, of course, but Amazon had agreed to pull the advertisements after pressure from government officials.

But you have to get to the very end of the Associated Press account to learn who actually “pulled” the ads from the subway. And for controversy about a show on the dangers of fascist totalitarianism, the answer may surprise you:

Officials confirmed Wednesday that Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered them removed. //

But the story couldn’t be more interesting. Fascism is so bad that the ruling authority needs to decide what commercial speech is acceptable in public spaces? The governor ordering the ads pulled is exactly the kind of government control the show warns about.
