Elon Musk has praised Netflix after the video streaming giant cracked down on its “woke” employees.
Netflix finally took a stand against the radical culture among its staff as the company continues to lose subscriptions and its stock price plummets.
As Slay News first reported last week, Netflix distributed a new “Culture Memo” among employees that includes warnings to “woke” staff members.
The memo has a section called “Artistic Expression” where the company says it will no longer “censor specific artists or voices” even if employees complain that the content is “harmful.”
Netflix told employees that they should leave the company if they are unable to support the content they produce.
“If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,” the company told employees.
The memo says:
“Entertaining the world is an amazing opportunity and also a challenge because viewers have very different tastes and points of view.
“So we offer a wide variety of TV shows and movies, some of which can be provocative.
“To help members make informed choices about what to watch, we offer ratings, content warnings, and easy-to-use parental controls.
“Not everyone will like — or agree with — everything on our service,” the new section reads.
“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 memo says.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted about the new memo, saying
“Netflix Inc. has a new message for its employees: Be prepared to work on content you may not agree with.
“And if you don’t like that, you can quit.
“ElonMusk seems to be having an impact beyond Twitter.”
Musk replied to Fitton’s comments, saying:
“Good move by Netflix.”
Good move by @netflix
