Netflix Wiped Most of Its “Palestinian Stories” Collection — and Erased the Whole Thing in Israel.
Netflix Wiped Most of Its “Palestinian Stories” Collection — and Erased the Whole Thing in Israel.
Netflix removed most of the films in its “Palestinian Stories” collection. In Israel, however, the entire landing page was nuked.
Common netflix L, sail the high seas.
I can't call that surprising. This is the same Netflix that almost immediately took down the episode of Hasan Minaj's show criticizing Saudi Arabia because the Saudis told them to.
From the article:
The films removed from Netflix include "3 Logical Exits"; "3000 Nights"; "A Drowning Man"; "A Man Returned"; "A World Not Ours"; "Ave Maria"; "Bonboné"; "Children of Shatila"; "Chronicle of a Disappearance"; "Condom Lead"; "Divine Intervention"; "Frontiers of Dreams and Fears"; "Ghost Hunting"; "Giraffada"; "Habibi"; "In Vitro"; "Like Twenty Impossibles"; "Maradona’s Legs"; "Mars at Sunrise"; "Omar"; "Salt of this Sea"; "Samouni Road"; "The Crossing"; and "Xenos"
Here is a lovely Federated [PeerTube] collection of films and documentaries about Palestine: https://tube.todon.eu/c/palestine.documentaries/videos?s=1
Literally just ereasing a culture to make room for the new one.
Dang, I wish there were a term for that...
Since this is the first time in human history it's every happened, we will have to wait to see what word or phrase becomes standard to use. Because if it had happened before, we'd have a definition for it.
And it would probably be super illegal beyond being immoral. Like international communities would all agree that anyone committing such acts would be evil and the good nations of the world would act immediately to defend the victims and stop any government or army from continuing.
At least if it ever happens again we will know better.
Musk is in regular contact with Putin, who makes suggestions about where Star link be turned off, or denied access to.
Bezos prevented the Washington Post from endorsing Kamala Harris.
Netflix is helping Israel dehumanize and erase Palestine and Palestinians.
A normal day in the US of A.
That's freedom fellow Americans
Remember... There is not a single corporation that gives a shit about you beyond your LTV (lifetime value) as a paying customer. "Pride week" and "Palestinian stories" type things are just mechanisms to get your money.
If they are told they make more money harming you, CEOs literally have a legal responsibility to choose that option. And right after they do, they will have an amazing dinner while laughing at how stupid you are and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life.

No they fucking don't.
They choose to do so out of greediness the vast majority of the time, but it isn't a legal obligation.
You are actually not wrong but if they dont obey BoD, it is the shed.
Bigger question here if this "simplification" is a valid tactic to communicate the message.
Theoretically BoD could sue the CEO, but i dont think that ever happened in this context... Only in cases of fraud, ie stealing company assets
Plenty are greedy psychopaths, I'm not saying the above as a forgiveness, I'm stating it as a fact. A CEO is a legal "corporate officer" of a company. Seems you need to learn a bit more about fiduciary responsibilities for a CEO. It is a legal obligation.
Maybe you'll do some reading, probably not though, huh? The people in your life must be just fucking exhausted by that energy of yours.
Has anyone ever been under the illusion orherwise? I’ve never seen anyone who thought corporations cared about them. And people don’t care about corporations either. They care about getting the shit they want at the price they want and will sleep very soundly if some corporation goes out of business.
a lot of people have a hard time to believe that facebook, google, microsoft, etc cannot be trusted, or even that they don't have good intentions (anymore?)
Seems you live in a bubble friend.
One of the most popular kids toys are miniature brand name products that the parents buy for them...
people by M&M's branded leather jackets for $300 and walk around as human billboards willingly...
people cover their cars with bumper stickers and get tattoos with logos showing their preferences between competing local coffee shops....
Goop, celebrity-fronted baby brands, etc are "lifestyle brands" where people purchase an identity and defend it against others...
Sports teams are corporations that people literally have bloody fist fights over...
Target is selling a Halloween costume and kids sized shopping carts and checkout stands and their parents are buying them... For money
What in the sweet sticky god damn FUCK are you talking about "was anyone under that illusion"?
Dude, Donald trump is a fucking corporation that elderly people eating cat food donate their pension checks to...
You seem to be delusional if you see NONE of that.
Let me introduce you to gamers and valve.
and then sleep more peacefully than you have on the single best day of your entire life
Seriously doubt that. Those kinds of people don't sleep well.

CANCEL CULTURE
But have you considered that it's working for them, now?
I had never even heard of them having this content.
I couldn't figure it out from the bit of the article i could see before the pay wall, but is it stated who they license the content from?
Many times these things are licensed in bundles (especially likely if they all showed up on the service at the same time) and they may not have been able to repurchase the license. It wouldn't surprise me if alot of that content is in flux with all the creators/businesses being killed/destroyed.
Is it possible they just decided to nix all that content during the moment in history it's most likely to be viewed outside of its previously very small audience? Sure. It just feels like there's probably something else going on here.
I gave Netflix a chance because of all the Palestinian content (I'm not even shitting) after being unsubbed for over a year since their underhanded tactics on family sharing, but I guess it's time to cancel again.
You're fools if you Americans don't think they do the same in the u.s, because Americans call to bitch about seeing foreigners on their Netflix

How the fuck y'all managing to make this garbage bot even worse? Just stop.
There's a pinned post right now where you can vote to kill the bot. I ultimately blocked it because it was at best useless - the sources I didn't recognize it didn't either, and I saw it endorsing British tabloids which is outright harmful. Maybe I would have liked the Wikipedia addition, because the spoiler tag works on my Lemmy client, but people already do this in comments in a more relevant way on an article to article basis.
