The CEO of entertainment streaming corporation Netflix defended the company’s decision to censor “Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj” in Saudi Arabia after the show was critical of the Middle Eastern nation’s crown prince, Mohammad Bin Salman, and his role in the disappearance and probable murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The Wrap reports that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was clear, in an interview at the New York Times’ DealBook conference, that Netflix had no desire to anger foreign nationals and that it would not court controversy if it meant forgoing profits and access to foreign audiences.
