Cairo, Sep 07 (EFE).- Egyptian authorities today demanded Netflix and Disney+ that their content comply with "the state's social norms and values", after Arab countries in the Persian Gulf demanded these platforms to remove scenes contrary to the teachings of Islam.
El Consejo Supremo de Regulación de Medios de Egipto dijo en un comunicado que ha emitted una serie de “norms y licencias para plataformas de contenido electrónico como Netflix y Disney+” para que se compromise “con los valores sociales del Estado”, sin ofrecer detalles sobre measures.
However, he stressed that “the necessary measures will be taken in the event that the retransmission of content contradicts the values of the company”.
The body noted that the number of subscribers in Egypt recently reached "unprecedented" figures.
The warning to Netflix came a day after Arab countries in the Persian Gulf demanded the platform remove scenes and audiovisual material 'contrary to Islamic values' from its children's content and even threatened to take legal action. in justice.
The controversy with Netflix erupted particularly in Saudi Arabia, one of the most conservative countries in the Middle East.
Saudi state television broadcast pixelated images of a scene from the animated series Jurassic World, in which two girls kiss, sparking a wave of condemnations in the country which criminalizes homosexuality.
Last June, Arab countries also banned the screening of Pixar's animated film "Lightyear" because it featured a scene in which two lesbian characters kiss.
Countries with a Muslim majority edit, to a large extent, content they deem inappropriate – such as homosexuality or sex scenes – from series, films and even video games.
