This afternoon my wife read an article in the Daily Kos about a boycott of Netflix. The reason is that Netflix bowed to a Saudi Arabian request not to make available an episode of a series that was critical of Saudi Arabia.
I cancelled our Netflix account which was rather easy.
But then I did my own reading about the boycott. See https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hasan-minhaj-responds-netflix-saudi-arabia_us_5c2cf80be4b0407e90875e85.
The request was limited to not making it available in Saudi Arabia. Still, I think I’ll let the cancellation stand. If I get any meaningful explanation from Netflix, I’ll consider re-subscribing. Meanwhile, we’ll visit the public library more often for DVDs.
