Elon Musk has been going on a crusade to
cancel Netflix. Matt Kim, who's like a
political correspondent,
>> I want to hear his conspiracy theories.
>> Elon Musk is leading the charge to
cancel Netflix because it's so woke. He
says nothing about his own platform
having unlimited porn and death
available to minors. But okay, Netflix
has had bad immoral content on his
platform for years. So is Disney. So is
HBO. So is every single platform. So,
why Netflix and why now? Here's a
coincidence. Elon Musk's buddy Larry
Ellison and Ellison's son David, they
just closed on a deal to take over
Paramount. You know, the competing
streaming service that also owns CBS,
Showtime, Nickelodeon.
>> And Paramount just dropped $7.7
billion.
>> A worthy conspiracy theory.
>> All this bad kids content. You should go
to Paramount. Well, we got Spongebob and
Paw Patrol and they're not going to be
trans. We got dogs on a motorcycle.
>> What people need to understand is
children's programming is entirely
values driven. That that is the point of
children's entertainment. We're wired to
take in the world through story. And so,
forever, I mean, when I was a kid, G.I.
Joe was like they had like little PSAs
in the middle of the episode. They'd be
like, "Don't go in the water when it's
thunder and lightning because the
electricity travels through water and it
can kill you." And now you know and
knowing is half the battle, right? And
then every episode is going to have some
theme of friendship or whatever. And so
literally every piece of children's
entertainment is wrapped around a theme.
That's what storytelling is, especially
when you're talking to kids. So there's
always going to be values that are
transmitted to kids. So the fact that
they are transmitting values isn't the
problem. The problem is we no longer
have a shared set of values. And so now
it's like, well, some people are like,
oh my god, this is amazing. Remember,
there are people that are looking at the
trans ideology in these cartoons and
they feel warmth. They feel an embrace
of inclusion and they're like, "Oh my
god, this is amazing and I'm so glad
that my kids are growing up with this.
This is so inclusive and so kind." It's
just that some people have extreme
backlash against this. So, I think
Netflix is going to have to do something
like includes like trans content, LGBT,
whatever. Like, and they list the things
that this includes. It'll probably be
something like that. That way parents
can click a button and be like, "No, no,
no. Don't ever show my kids."
>> Exclude rainbow like that. Yes. Because
like on YouTube, I would very much the
degree of parental control that I would
want for my kids would be extreme. I
want to make sure that there are certain
things that my kids don't see. There are
people that do experiments where they'll
wipe an iPad. They'll do things like um
watch, auto watch, because I guess
autoplay is a signal that you're a kid.
uh autoplay an hour's worth of Coco
Melon and then see what the algorithm
starts like showing you after that and
then they'll watch a bunch of shorts
that are being recommended to them.
They'll let them all autoplay. Uh, and
then they see what they start getting
recommended. And there's like all this
crazy violent like ultra trippy cartoon
stuff. But like Bunny goes to a lake and
throws a bomb in the lake to kill all
the swans and then like grabbing the
swans and dragging them out, cutting
their own like intestines in and like
pulling like a rabbit out of their guts.
Like it's wild. I'm like, "Okay, first
of all, a lot of this stuff I'm sure is
just being AI generated, but
nonetheless, like that's what your kids
are getting." So, I would want to be
like, okay, their algorithm is going to
be very good at recognizing what's
violence or whatever. And as a parent, I
just want to be like, no violence, no
this, no that, approved channels,
disapproved channels. And then now I
know my kids algorithm is going to get
the following things. And algorithmic
control, I think, is going to be super
important. And I think people are going
to go crazy demanding that whether it's
Netflix, X, Instagram, that I determine
my algorithm. And I think that that
people are going to be fish about it for
kids. If Netflix is watching, that would
be my advice. Immediately race, not to
pick a winner on the values debate, but
instead give parents control over what
kind of content they do and don't want
their kids to see and make sure
everything is tagged and that you can't
put content up that isn't tagged and
that accounts like get a reputation
score. So, if you've got somebody where
the account itself has a let's say
they've been creating content for 2
years and I mean it's a little bit
different in Netflix cuz they literally
have buyers that like bring this stuff
into the ecosystem. So, this is
>> going to be far easier for them than it
will be for somebody like YouTube. So,
my advice is the same for YouTube. But,
accounts will get a credibility score.
So, if that account has been putting out
like good stuff for years, they've never
violated it, they don't get unreasonable
reporting on them and all that, uh,
they're going to get more leeway if they
put something up and it's like, we're
not quite sure, whatever. Yeah, we'll
give them the benefit of the doubt.
Other accounts, maybe their thing is
fine, but they're brand new and so it's
got to go through review, whatever.
It'll be something like that. But you
have to put parents in control. Now that
comes down to the debate about who owns
I know people are going to hate that
word but who owns the kid. Is it the
government or is it the parent? I think
it's the parent. So for me it's like the
parent should a thousand% be able to
decide whether kids do and don't see and
that means they will need algorithmic
control. This is a slippery slope where
like hypothetically speaking Netflix
implements that and there now is a does
this contain LGBTQ content? Yes or no is
a toggle. Could that mean somebody can
be like, "Yeah, I don't want black
people in my content either. Let's
filter out that." I don't like business
themes in my content. I can figure
that I don't want I as a business don't
want a racial filter.
>> Great. Let the business make that
decision. Parents can and should be able
to teach their kids what they believe is
right. If somebody wants to teach their
kid about Jesus, they should be able to
do that. If somebody wants to teach
their kid Jesus isn't real and evolution
is, they should be able to teach that.
If people want to say that um embracing
trans people is about love and
inclusion, they should be able to teach
that. If they want to teach them that
trans is mental illness, they should be
able to teach that. Parents should be
able to teach their kids what they want.
You have to deal as a society with the
consequences of that. But I don't want
to be in the business of top down
telling parents what they can and can't
teach their kids. That is the
catastrophic mistake. So from your
perspective, it's not necessarily
censorship as in don't give me these
options, but I should have the ability
to opt out of
>> people should be able to censor what
their kids see a thousand%. Is that
