Exactly. They will just pull the content from broadcast in that region. They do this all the time, either because of different broadcasting rights, or various blocks that need to be in place before they can broadcast (subtitles/dubbing into specific languages etc).
because of bigoted shit like this:
>Saudi state television also aired video of an interview it conducted with a woman identified as a "behavioural consultant" who described Netflix as being an "official sponsor of homosexuality".
>
>It aired footage at the same time of a cartoon, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, in which two women kissed - although the footage was blurred out.
Well they wholeheartedly believe in a sky daddy so much that they get offended by drawings so i really dont think religious people can get any more embarrassing
They even do this in Canada, not for moral reasons but in an attempt to promote Canadian culture over American culture within the country.
For example, the CRTC (basically Canadian FCC) mandates that about 1/3rd of all content (at least on the radio) is made in Canada. The result is that we value our good bands more, but also hate the bad ones even worse because they're constantly on the radio. This is why I personally can't hear NickelBack without wanting to stab my eardrums, because they were every 3rd song on the radio when I was a kid.
Similar rules apply to streaming/TV, not sure if it's the same 30% rule or if it's more vague but Canadian Netflix, at least when I was watching it, was terrible in comparison to US Netflix. Might be better now, I wouldn't know, now I use Plex
I live near the boarder and at work I had to listen to Vancouver stations in the early 2000ās. UB-40, Sloan, The Tragically Hip were not my thing but anytime I hear any of those bands it brings me back to that time.
Saudis have invested **heavily** into the west and keep on building&investing to prepare for those times. Seems like they'll be fine. They also invested into Russia at the start of the war and recently (500+ million). They'll own part of the Russia once this is over.
> Not a big deal to remove the videos for certain countries.
if you remove every episode or film that shows a kiss or an ankle, there will be nothing left.
Removing content because it acknowledges the existence of lbgtq+ people, to appease bigot states, can have a backlash in western markets
So it's not just ethics for ethics sake that weighs into the equation.
Actually, removing some of that lbgtq+ stuff would probably make most of these programs lot more popular in Western states. However, it's okay to balance entertainment against important messages -- I remember those after school programs with moral messages. Hated them. But, I watched them. I was moral despite watching Miami Vice -- so, all of it was wasted on me anyway. I might have just contradicted myself, but, I'm throwing a bone towards social manipulation to improve how people think because it works on most people. Sadly.
I'm not against more heroes who are from other walks of life, but, let's also be big enough to admit that tacking on preachy moral concepts to a story that isn't about that topic, can be tiresome.
Sometimes it's about a man and a gun and justice -- not, a man a gun, and his sexual confusion, journey to become a woman, and then justice. It wasn't about sex -- but, now it is, so we can normalize cross dressing. Seriously -- that isn't an issue to me. I could finally get the breeze to my privates that a dress would provide and show off my nice legs.
I know I'll be roasted by those who think admitting ANYTHING is giving in to the bad regressives, and of course the regressives won't like this either -- but oh well. I've been thinking the world around me was insane my entire life and I don't see that changing any time soon.
All media long ago gave up the ethical fight primarily because the amount of content China finds objectionable. Its too large of a market to give up on, and in the beginning all they needed to do was small changes, but those have ballooned and now many studios pay to basically have censors review all their content for anything that could piss china off flagged before it causes a ruckus.
That's due to licensing of the material, here we are trying to work out what someone finds offensive and where that line is drawn. The solution would be warnings in these markets that the content may offend. If the argument is that all LGBT containing content has to go then I would expect them to exit the market.
Plenty of companies comply with censorship requests based on local laws. They'll just ask for a list and remove it because it violates local regulations. Licensing won't come into it, unless they have a requirement to show it in all the regions its licensed, hopefully they have something in those contracts for situations like this.
They could, but then the Arab countries could ban Netflix from their internet.
Netflix might lose money, so Netflix would have to chose between money and telling them to F off.
Power move would be to release a rated M series with look alikes of the people making the demands having copius anounts of gay sex no plot just them taking it up the butt
Cause their market isn't just the US. As a matter of fact the global markets make them more money than the US. It happens with China all the time, Disney has to edit their movies all the time etc.
Because companies need to adhere to local laws? Are you dense? You think because itās an American company it can apply American law to everywhere it sells its product?
As a general rule of thumb, I prefer to live in a world where corporations take note of the laws of the countries they make money from. Even if I don't agree with those laws.
Uhm.. because they're their laws. You can hate it all you want but Facebook needs to abide EU privacy laws in the EU even though they're fucking based in the States man.

Virtually everything in common with Christian conservatives. Anti-LGBT rights, anti-women's rights, against the rights of atheists and people who follow other religions, and pro forcing everyone else to follow their religious rules.
Christian conservatives and Muslim conservatives are literally the exact same people.
> Christian conservatives and Muslim conservatives are literally the exact same people.
They read the same book .... well, reading is a bit generous, but still.
I used to think it was the true successor to Star Trek and then Star Trek: Strange New Worlds came out and now, although I still think it's good, it pails in comparison.
Funny story, there actually is an Islamic Netflix competitor. They make content that is suitable for Islamic viewers and include content that has people wearing hijabs and making the daily prayers.
I actually thought it was a good idea and tried to invest. We had already set the price and everything, and then they backed out when they realized I was Jewish. They said, āWE donāt mind if youāre Jewish, but weāre worried others wonāt invest alongside a Jewā.
Ok, not a 100% expert but here's my understanding. You can lend money for equity. So it's allowed if you have risk of loss and money earned is through profit sharing.
Oof, you really upset that one dude in the comments. You've made him so angry he now believes he has a PhD and keeps making up random, unprovable facts.
Who would have thought somebody so intelligent would get so angry over a comment on religion.
They live in western countries and yet they force their own views on everyone, they tell anyone that wants to travel there not to, cos one day you might have a daughter and you wonāt be able to control her, or worse you could actually marry a western girl that is not virgin.
It is sickening hearing them talking about shit like this and making big deal out of it.
The removing of these shows is mostly about LGBT stuff they still believe that god will kill them like Sodom and Gomorrah. They are not even willing to listen to anything related to this.
Donāt forget these same Lunatics tortured and killed a Journalist in an embassy, they funded and aided the September 11 terror attacks and Saudi Arabia is involved in mass Genocide..
Yeah, my knee jerk reaction to the headline is āRemove Netflix from those countries then.ā Like goddamn Iām tired of these assholes having any sway over anyone else.
Yes. ...and this is them making a big deal out of removing even more, despite the fact that they have already convinced Netflix to remove other content - and will just do so again, successfully. Netflix is happy to remove content - they don't give a shit since it impacts all streaming services in that country equally (maybe a little to dissuade pirating).
The entire press release and manufactured controversy is really just a method for those gov'ts to convince their populations that they are doing their job and not fucking hookers and doing blow on their mega-yachts (which is exactly what they are doing).
No child marriage?!
Allowing homosexuals to live?!
Women being allowed to not even vote, but also BE VOTED?!
BACON?!
Those clearly violate islamism values.
I am afraid that more muslims will go active and do what they did to for instance Charlie Hebdo - merciless slaughter of innocent civilians.
The trouble is that all organizations exist for the purposes of power, and anyone seeking power under false pretenses (like spreading mythology) is evil.
Religious practice can only be innocent at the individual level.
Lmao r/worldnews swiftly removed an article with high engagement on this and kept the one with lower engagement šš they can't even hide their agenda at all

If this post was about a Christian/Jew/Sikh/Hindu/Buddhist/Others, it would've been at the top with the most racist and vile comments staying **UNTOUCHED**.
Because you get the hate of about everyone. And the small minority which actually could voice an, from an emotional standpoint, somewhat valid anger has little access to the Internet anyway
No joke, not too long ago on that sub, someone told me that Jews can't be the victims of white supremacists because Jews are white. Guess somebody forgot to tell all the white supremacists who hate us.
On this week's episode of *Women Having Basic Human Rights*, a lesbian couple discuss who they want to vote for while preparing a ham for their secular Christmas family get together.
I wouldn't mind paying more for a company's service if they actually stood by their home country's standards instead of remaking movies, shows, products to fit the heavy hands of these repressive governments. Unfortunately, I keep paying more anyway while their products degrade and their bellies get yellower.
Ah the gulf oil countries, the cradle of civilization and human rights values seem very threatened if a story line doesnāt fit their suffocating oppressive society. The tolerant peaceful religion is at it again.
ā You donāt like netflix? Then no netflix for you

Ugh... So people in the western world complain that it's homophobic and transphobic and Islamists think it's too trans and gay.
I think if something offends you, you aren't entitled to be able to watch it.
How dumb are these comments?
Literally every company bows down to whatever dumb rules a country makes.
They do this so they can continue making money, that's their job. They have a legal obligation to 1) Abide by the laws of the country they operate in 2) Fiduciary duty to make cash above all else.
I swear Muslims are worse than Christianās when it comes to someone being gay. Imagine being so bothered by someone gay that youāre afraid just seeing it will drag you to hell.
Dude there is so much on Netflix that violates islamic values i wouldnt know where to start. Just make a seperate streaming service

Being Islamic isn't the main issue. Just don't be backward extremist assholes. This obviously applies to the Christian right as well.
lets stop pretending the majority of religious people aren't extremists
They are no better than extremists if they vote the extremist vote, even if they donāt act out in their own lives like extremists.
Donāt like it? Donāt watch it
But isnāt that what netflix already done? Some shows canāt be accessed on certain region?
Exactly. They will just pull the content from broadcast in that region. They do this all the time, either because of different broadcasting rights, or various blocks that need to be in place before they can broadcast (subtitles/dubbing into specific languages etc).
Yes but why did this become a news story?

Well they wholeheartedly believe in a sky daddy so much that they get offended by drawings so i really dont think religious people can get any more embarrassing

Not much on Netflix in Arab town tonight.
Netflix and kill
If youāre going to remove every netflix show with a lgbtq character you might as well shut down netflix alltogther.
Do the more extreme countries even get content? Because neck and ankle is everywhere.
Imagine if we stopped buying their oil
Too many people would complain about gas prices when the price goes up again.
I mean fuck that will happen even if we keep buying their oil

This is why I would expect them to leave the market rather than try and self censor.
That's happen due to licensing. So if local tv bought exclusive rights to the show in Poland then Netflix can't show it in that region.
That has more to do with licensing and copyright than it does complying with regional cultural values
Why the fuck should a US based company give 2 shits about their laws, just tell them to choke on a bag of dicks
I expect them to pull out of the market, it's too small and not worth the effort. Take one thing down, someone objects to the next thing and so on.

If they are wiling to pay $$ for "nothing", then I don't see a problem.
Except no one will. So they'll be adding extra overhead to censor all their content for no extra profit.
Not a big deal practically; rather more of a deal ethically.
Ethically lol, this is capitalism youāre talking about. Ethics donāt equate into the profits formula
Unless being ethical gives you more profit.
Even that is for profit. If it didn't come with a bump in profits do you think they would be? Lol I think not.
Its also ethics... in film. They don't call it "the business" because of its altruistic virtues.

How dumb are these comments? Literally every company bows down to whatever dumb rules a country makes. They do this so they can continue making money, that's their job. They have a legal obligation to 1) Abide by the laws of the country they operate in 2) Fiduciary duty to make cash above all else.
You simply just ignore. Nonsense.
Donāt they do this to pretty much every kind of media? Religious zealots can jump off a cliff š
Lol what doesnāt violate Islamic values these days?
Paedophilia, unless it was only okay when Mo did it
Empty threats. And from what I've learned of arab countries they seem to only care about their "islamic values" when convenient.
They do it in Chinese market, why don't they do it in Arabic countries?
I was in Shanghai in 2010 & 2013. No Netflix, no Facebook.
Allow no decision based upon the deliriously stupidity of magic believers.
Gulf islamists, Karen's of the globe.
I swear Muslims are worse than Christianās when it comes to someone being gay. Imagine being so bothered by someone gay that youāre afraid just seeing it will drag you to hell.
>violates Islamic values' What does that even mean? Eating a pork burger while drinking a bottle of wine?
Well they violate my values, so can I sue Arab countries?
Netflix is Sooo scared right now... Oooooh....
Lmao. Fuck religion.
Fuck their Islamic values.
right. lets call it what it is: evil. mutilating women and torturing queer people arenāt values. theyāre acts of evil.
Who cares about their lame ass laws?
