We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
I was in a band in the '90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had.
I would be surprised to see the White House scaling back on anything. That would be an admission they are operating from a position of weakness.
