How are these exceptions to the rule? None of those platforms are the source of the content being provided. That's the primary reason why this distinction exists.
- saagarjha 6y agoNetflix isn't really the source of most of its content, either.
- laumars 6y agoThe point of the discussion was about gateways to other 3rd party content, which all of my examples fall in line with. But even Netflix, Spotify, Plex and Prime Video all have content produced by 3rd parties available via their apps. Then what about shopping sites like eBay and Amazon? It’s not multimedia but it’s still an interactive process where you can access adult content. There comes a point where a company’s position is so nuanced that you have to suspect it’s more to do with financial motivations than a moral stance.
