Thanks to Netflix for the right action to remove unwanted episode...it's not right to attack people for money. It's not freedom nor more when you pass the other people right

That’ll show’um!

But they can watch it using a vpn on YouTube!

He was a terrorist. Just like this guy that the Washington Post also likes

VPN problem solved

Just makes the government and “prince” look even more shady. Technology and social media today make censorship a futile cause.

Saudi Arabia is great example of how tyrants fear descent. In a republic, we should welcome it.

His show is crap anyway but shouldn’t be censored

He’s disgraceful He’s not welcome to Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

What do they know about 9/11?

Wow. They did this to make more money? Well if you’re not part of the solution then.....

Maybe netflix should show hidden camera video of what Saudi kids are taught about foreigners and heretics.

For those blaming Netflix, it’s not their fault. They have to adhere to laws in the areas they stream to. Blame Saudi Arabia, it’s their law.

Netflix blinked!!

The US needs to be braver than this. Come on, Netflix.
