Yeah, I just don’t give a F about what Netflix does. And neither should you.
I do, and will, and should.
Yeah... well there was that barkeep on Star Trek TNG. She was wise and lots of times even the captain would go ask advice. I think she was so wise even the damn robot would ask her for advice.
I guess it’s not history if its about the future though.
On what legal basis would they sue?
I like the way you think.
“I know you’re joking, but Donnie Yen is awesome!”
Agreed!! :)
To close it down as providing misinformation as fact.
It is their country and they n do as they wish
Well, apparently Netflix is allowed there, and that must mean that some people want it. If someone doesn’t like it, they can change the channel.
(I’ve never used Netflix; but I assume that one has to subscribe to it and pay for it (?). I so, that seems to make it a personal choice.)
I haven’t liked it in my own country when people have tried to censor what they assume to be ‘misinformation’. That sword swings both ways, neither of them very useful to promoting individual Liberty.
I am not sure the individual liberty is the issue at stake for this Egyptian.
Individual liberty that the world has seen recently has evolved into trans dances in libraries for children.
World wide there are people who want to conserve their histories their values...
That argument could be used to censor a lot of actual truth here in the US - and has been. Every individual’s notion of ‘history’ and ‘values’ is different.
In my opinion, our own history and values have been distorted in history texts for decades (see Howard Zinn!); and now, if you contest that ‘received wisdom’, you might be ‘cancelled’. But contesting voices are still out there, because we still have some level of freedom of expression.
This isn’t new in our era; it’s been done in various ways forever. I just don’t like censorship cutting either way. Those who endorse shutting up someone else have usually found it coming back to bite themselves later.
Again, as long as people are free to express themselves and speak their minds, there will be voices to contest ‘disinformation’. It’s not any individual’s job or responsibility to dictate what other people may believe, buy into, or subscribe to. God gave everyone a brain.
(This Netflix issue is completely different from having your kid force-fed nonsense in a school for which you pay for actual education. Nobody is obliged to subscribe to Netflix.)
I agree with you. However the country is Egypt and they are certainly able to do things differently.
Often people do not use their brains. Sadly.
Apparently news to the left-wing-nuts: Some Africans are not “black.”
Some African-Americans have ancestors from Egypt, Greece, even Carthaginia.
Some “black” people have no roots at all, in Africa.
