Good, but Netflix needs to extend the same “creative freedom” more broadly than just stand up comedy. Neither JK Rowling nor Dave Chapelle nor anyone else should be cancelled for expressing an opinion on a controversial topic that is ultimately based on social consensus and has lots of room for interpretation and differences of opinion. But other content should also be similarly unmoderated and reflect a diversity of perspectives, even if vocal Twitter mobs revolt. The fact that “incitement of hate” is applied differently based on the genre of entertainment shows how unprincipled and arbitrary the concept is.
