Netflix Defends Dave Chappelle
Ted Sarandos said he will not be removing Chappelle’s new special from Netflix despite demands from several organizations.
“Several of you have also asked where we draw the line on hate. We don’t allow titles on Netflix that are designed to incite hate or violence, and we don’t believe The Closer crosses that line,” he said adding, “distinguishing between commentary and harm is hard, especially with stand-up comedy which exists to push boundaries. Some people find the art of stand-up to be mean-spirited but our members enjoy it, and it’s an important part of our content offering.”
In other words, we dont fuck with the money.
