The following statement was issued:

In view of what was recently observed that the Netflix platform broadcast some visual materials and content that violates the controls of media content in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which contradicts Islamic and societal values ​​and principles, and accordingly, the Netflix platform was contacted to remove this content, including those directed to children and compliance by systems.

The council has confirmed that they will follow up on their commitment, and in the event that the infringing content continues to be broadcast, the necessary legal measures will be taken.
