Hawley: Netflix pushes “transgender ideology” on kids

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) pressed Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos on Tuesday about children's programming on the streaming service that he argued promotes what he called "transgender ideology." "Why is it that so much of Netflix's content for children promotes a gender ideology — almost half?" Sen. Hawley asked during a Senate subcommittee hearing. Mr. Sarandos disputed that figure and said his company "has no political agenda of any kind." "We feature a wide variety of stories and programs to meet a wide variety of people's tastes," he said. "I don't have any idea where that number would come from." Sen. Hawley said it had been his personal experience that Netflix was pushing transgender content to children. "You don't think that I monitor what my children watch?" he said. "I can't let them watch anything on Netflix, unless I preview it, because I don't have confidence in what's on your platform." #hawley #congress #netflix #trans #cspan
