#2Not that it makes it any better, but they only took down the episode in Saudi Arabia, not globally. The headline makes it sound like they took down the episode altogether.

#3While this is still unflagged, I like when people say the emperor has no clothes. It's obvious that the US has selective policies on human rights.

#4This is why Saudi Arabia is trying to buy up tech and especially social media (Snap, Twitter)

What does that have to do with a private company removing an episode of a tv show for users in a single country

I don’t think that’s why they do it. It this wouldn’t be a viable strategy. I think that they have other reasons.

Definitely part of it is them trying to latch on to new industries so they don’t go kaput when the oil runs out. But I do think they want seats on boards of tech companies so they can push their agendas too.
Aside, I would like to see the actual justification behind how the episode constitutes cyber crime aside from “because we said so”

#8This is so reprehensible! They must champion political freedom fighters! They should've let their business in Saudi Arabia to go down to make a big statement.

their agenda seems to be to make more money.

#10Question: C-Corp vs Public-Benefit companies in similar situations.
As I understand it Netflix really doesn't have the option of taking a principled stand here (let me know if I'm wrong) due its financial responsibilities toward shareholders.
If they had incorporated as a public-benefit corporation would they have additional freedom to say "We won't participate in this market on ethical grounds?"
