They don't care if you watch it, they care if people in Saudi Arabia watch it.
- mattigames 8y agoThat's only partially true, in a world so communicated a lot of people are going to contact their friends living in Saudi Arabia and tell them what they think about the film, a lot will see this news on reddit or elsewhere and realize its being censored.
- newen 8y agoI'm pretty sure a lot more than that one show is censored in Saudi Arabia..
- throwaway98121 8y agoI’m sure they care more than that. Global opinion matters, especially if it can influence policy makers, particularly citizens in the western developed countries.
- nvo 8y agoSaudi Arabia is 100% backed by Israel and Israel controls the media and most politicians through AIPAC and so on, so good luck with that.
- dingoegret 8y agoLe this. SA will be fine as long as SA is backed up by the countries who's soft power effectively blankets general public opinion.
- bilbo0s 8y ago>Global opinion matters... Not so sure about this? Reality is, MBS can do whatever he wants, global opinion or no global opinion. That's been made pretty clear recently. I mean really, who's gonna stop him?
- mr_toad 8y agoPopular uprisings aren’t exactly uncommon in the Middle East.
- abishekk6 8y agoThey only care that MBS shouldn't watch it or learns about it and get upset. Everything is low cost enough to make happen for that risk!
