The Gulf states have demanded Netflix removes “un-Islamic” content, accusing the streaming service of “focusing excessively on homosexuals”.
The order was an apparent reference to a same-sex kiss in the cartoon Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.
The Gulf Cooperation Council [GCC] and the Saudi media regulator said in a joint statement that Netflix had been asked to take down such content, “including content directed to children”.
It added that the authorities “will follow up on the platform’s compliance with the directives, and in the event that the infringing content continues to be broadcast, the necessary legal measures will be taken”.
The GCC statement did not specify the content which had caused offence, but Saudi media reports cited a scene in Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous in which two female characters kiss. One TV report showed an extract of the kiss in question but blurred out the characters’ heads….
State broadcaster Al Ekhbariya TV condemned the content as a “cinematic cover for immoral messages that threaten the healthy upbringing of children” in a report it posted on Twitter.
State TV also cited the French film Cuties, which has caused controversy in the West over claims it sexualises young girls.
Another video on Saudi state media accused Netflix of “focussing excessively on homosexuals”….
Under Saudi Arabia’s interpretation of Islamic law, homosexuality can be punished by either flogging or death, while sexual relations outside marriage are banned…..
