Netflix says standing with Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais is a free speech issue
Posted by admin on
Not that anyone should have been unclear where Netflix stood in the battle of ideas, but the streamer's co-CEO Ted Sarandos has now further articulated the streamer's position when it comes to problematic content. Specifically, when comedians like Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle push against the bounds of what's regarded as socially acceptable.
We'll get into more specifics about Sarandos' new comments below. Suffice it to say, though, that for Sarandos, especially, the dynamic is pretty straightforward. At least as long as he's in charge of the biggest streaming platform in the world, Netflix will allow comedians, and content creators in general, to apparently get away with saying and showing almost anything.
