• The platform had faced the heat from its employees regarding some of its content
Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) updated its culture guidelines saying employees can quit if they do not agree with the video-streaming platform’s content.
“As 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 you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,” the company said.
Netflix had faced the heat from its employees regarding some content available on its platform. Last year, comedian Dave Chappelle was criticized for his remarks about transgender people in his stand-up special “The Closer” on Netflix.
Many employees at Netflix had demanded to remove the show from the platform.
“While every title is different, we approach them based on the same set of principles: we support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with; we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes; and we let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices,” the company added.
