"Why is it that so much of Netflix content for children promotes a transgender ideology?"
""Our business intent is to entertain the world," Sarandos replied. "It is not to have a political agenda.""
"He called on X users to unsubscribe from Netflix for having a "transgender woke agenda," citing its few shows with trans characters - shows that were canceled years ago."
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos testified at a Senate antitrust hearing and faced Republican questioning about the platform's children's content. Sen. Josh Hawley accused Netflix of promoting a transgender ideology in children's programming and claimed almost half of children's content contained such ideology. The claim echoed Elon Musk's campaign urging X users to unsubscribe over a perceived "transgender woke agenda," citing a few trans-character shows that were canceled years ago. Sarandos said Netflix's business intent is to entertain the world and not to pursue a political agenda. The hearing shifted focus from merger issues to culture-war attacks while YouTube received little scrutiny.
