LOL.......Suddenly, free speech is a bitch to cope with these days.
Netflix Updates Corporate Culture Memo, Adding Anti-Censorship Section and a Vow to âSpend Our Membersâ Money Wiselyâ (EXCLUSIVE)
The core principles of the Netflix Culture memo, including empowering employee decision-making, requiring candid feedback and terminating staffers who arenât up to âdream teamâ snuff, remain intact. But there are some key changes. For starters, the document has a new title: âNetflix Culture â Seeking Excellenceâ (previously it was simply called âNetflix Cultureâ).
More significantly, the document adds a new directive for employees to act with fiscal responsibility â a change that comes as Netflix in Q1 saw its first decline in subscribers in more than a decade. The updated Netflix Culture memo also includes a new section called âArtistic Expression,â explaining that the streamer will not âcensor specific artists or voicesâ even if employees consider the content âharmful,â and bluntly states, âIf youâd find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.â
The section concludes, âAs employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values. Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If youâd find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.â
