Gulf Arab states demand Netflix remove ‘offensive content’ from the region
Gulf Arab states have demanded that Netflix remove “offensive content” in the region, according to a statement made on Sept. 6.
The statement came from the Gulf Cooperation Council – a regional group that includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait – and the Saudi General Commission for Audiovisual Media.
The groups did not specify the offensive content, but mentioned that it included content aimed at children. The content is offensive to “Islamic and societal values,” the statement said.
If Netflix doesn’t remove the content, then “necessary legal measures will be taken,” it said.
Saudi state television, in a program discussing the issue, showed blurred-out animation clips that appeared to show two girls embracing.
