Southeast Asian Governments Demand Netflix Censorship Amid Growth

As Netflix expands in Southeast Asia, it faces repeated censorship demands from governments seeking to control what their citizens watch and hear. Netflix has already accommodated at least a dozen government requests that titles be removed from the service, according to company reports, and been caught in the middle of heated debates over how the company should be regulated. These challenges come just as Netflix looks increasingly to Asia, and specifically to the emerging economies of Southeast Asia, to fuel growth.
