The evangilical movement will definately push more and more to censor anything they don't like. If it was my sect ( the First United Methodist Church) they would eliminate anything that is not specifically "Christian". As according to their theology anything that is not "of God" is satanic. I am not kidding.

I was wondering what New Zealand had them take down. It was The Bridge.

I went to IMDb find out why that movie might have been a problem. Turns out there are quite a few movies titled "The Bridge." I am assuming that the one in question here is the 2006 documentary about the Golden Gate Bridge and the suicides associated with it. I can see where there might be mental health concerns running a movie about suicides. Still not sure I agree with the request, but it is what it is.

I can see a lot of this but if it continues the current American regime will soon be asking for take downs as well. I am a paying member of Netflix and have been for a few years now. This is strange because I watch everything else free and am a pirate. I hate that the movie and music industry cries over all the lost sales it thinks it has. This is not the case at all and piracy might even help sales in the long run. Imagine rain that comes down and you catch some of it in buckets. All of the rain cannot be caught that way. The fact that a signal in the air is caught, viewed, and enjoyed by people is not proof that these same people would have paid for the signal. I have watched many movies and TV shows simply because I could and because they were there. It does not mean I would have paid for them but if I talk about them other people might pay for them.

Back to Netflix again, it appears that my ex has given out our password to people she knows in Kenya and they are watching my Netflix free. I get notice of another sign-on constantly in my e-mail. When I tell the story to others they have fits and say "change that password because they are stealing." .I don't care. my view is that some of these poor people might enjoy what they watch and build a good mental idea of Netflix that might allow them and others to pay and view later. The fate of any good thing is passed on by mouth. I don't give a damn about the buckets full of signal that the industry cries about and says they have lost.

Understandable from Netflix's point of view. No real reason to argue the toss. They are an entertainment site, not a news network. Although some of their documentaries are hard-hitting.

Censorship sucks. No matter who is doing it, or why.
When it's done for money, it's even worse.
