Don't really think it's up to Netflix to pressure a ruthless dictatorship into adopting western free speech. That's the remit of all those peace loving, ethical, democratic, modern, western nations who sell Saudia Arabia weapons.

That wasn’t enough for President Trump, who sowed doubt about the intelligence conclusion while praising Saudi Arabia for “keeping oil prices at reasonable levels.” The message on human rights and the First Amendment: Make me an offer.

Mr. Trump didn’t invent realpolitik. But previously, even when American actions contradicted its vision of itself, presidential paeans to democratic norms carried at least symbolic weight.

Hate the way my phone turned true into try and realpolitik into two words. Shitty.

Pretty sure they're more concerned about their employees being murdered than changing the legal and social frameworks of dictatorships.

And money. Can't forget that.

Very few people seem to truly believe in free speech these days.
