A Netflix representative told The Verge that removing the work would require valid legal documentation from the government, and added that it would basically be refunded upon request. . For example, in recent years Brazil has been requesting that the ' First Temptation of Christ ' be unsubscribed , but Netflix has appealed and ultimately won .
On the other hand, when Netflix removed the episode of `` Saudi Arabia '' from `` Hassan Minhaj: Patriotism in 2019 '' in 2019, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said, `` We are doing business by truth. We're not an entertainment company, we're an entertainment company. '
According to Netflix's report, one of the appeals of Netflix is that it can 'provide works to global audiences', and is striving to maintain distribution titles in all countries. However, he acknowledges that sometimes the title of the work has to be deleted in order to continue operating in a particular country. Nevertheless, Netflix has decided to upload the entire episode to YouTube for people living in Saudi Arabia after the episode of 'Saudi Arabia' was removed from 'Hassan Minhaj: Speaking as a Patriot'.
