Netflix He switches, and with another internal announcement, he announces – not too much between the lines – that he has lost patience with the grievances and protests of those employees who want to condition the service catalog with their point of view.
Many cases, also in the very recent past: a special by Dave Chappelle judged transphobic had been attacked by several employees, who had formally asked Netflix to end all collaboration with the comedian. That something was changing hung in the air: Netflix had already responded with a shrug. “Chappelle is not touched”. And good, because the African-American comedian has little to nothing about transphobic.
This time the company is even clearer. In new version of the guidelines internal reads: “Not always everyone appreciates or shares what’s in our catalog. Rather than censor the voice of a specific artist, let’s let our viewers decide what’s best for them.” The guidelines continue: “As a company, we support the idea that Netflix offers a multitude of rumors and stories, even if some titles go against our personal values.” And again: “Depending on your role, you may have to work with content that you find offensive. If you think supporting the diversity of our content might be difficult for you, maybe Netflix is not the place for you
Good move from @netflix

The answer is ready Elon Musk, who just a few weeks ago accused the streaming giant of being too “awake,” that is, too forcefully progressive, at the cost of being obnoxious or grotesque. “Great move by Netflix,” said the entrepreneur in these hours.
With the latest guidelines, Netflix could certainly have displeased more than a few of its employees. In return, the company got a new fan.
