Netflix has been told by Gulf Arab states to remove content deemed to be offensive to “Islamic and societal values” in the region.
Quoting the Saudi Arabian media regulator General Commission for Audiovisual Media (GCAM), Reuters adds that although no specific programmes were identified, the coverage included content aimed at children.
The content apparently violates media regulations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GOC), which encompasses Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, and Netflix faces the prospect of legal action if it does not comply.
Reuters notes that the UEA issued a similar statement aimed at Netflix earlier this week.
