Elon Musk declared that Netflix’s peddling of transgender propaganda to children through a number of animated shows is not free speech.This Substack is reader-supported.
Free speech and paid speech are not mutuay exclusive. You can be paid for something that is protected by free speech.
If what Netflix does is FREE speech or not is to be determined by the courts. Lies are generally protected under the 1st unless they cause harm. I would agree that that could be argued here but the way society is currently, with too many officials, lawmakers and judges flying the rainbow, I dont think the courts would agree.
But of course Musk is perfectly correct in that what Netflix does is PAID speech, also. Paid by you, as long as you subscribe to Netflix. So stop it.
Perhaps we need a rating system so that parents know what is included in the content that their kids are watching. We could put a T or a Q in addition to the parental control ratings- ie make it PG 13 T if the show has drag queens in it. That was parents can just boycott whatever material they don't want their kids to be brainwashed with.
The man, I believe is pushing this level of propaganda is Reed Hastings, the co-founder of Netflix. This won’t stop until Reed Hastings is removed as executive chairman. Reed Hastings even donated to Kamala Harris, remember that?
