Did you know Netflix took down hundreds of critical tweets from, well, Twitter obviously, about the movie "Cuties"?

Last week there were over a hundred. From the source of this whose link is at the end of the question it’s written: “Over the past month, Netflix has asked Twitter to remove (content from) roughly 300 tweets. More than half of these were sent on November 3, singling out the Cuties tweets.” They were ALL, without exception, critical of the movie ‘Cuties’ and/or urged people to cancel their subscriptions. The company did not target the written text, just the videos posted, but most of them were the trailer of the film itself. Someone did post some clips about the film, but these tweets were all in general exempted from takedown requests for fair use. “Every week, Netflix sends out thousands of takedown requests, most of which target pirated copies of its movies and TV-shows.” And, “Legally the company is allowed to do this of course, as they own the rights. For the record, “Author and entrepreneur Sindiso Lubisi was also affected by the takedowns. [...] Lubisi says he wasn’t contacted by Twitter or Netflix directly.” A Twitter user received an email from Twitter saying even “that his account was temporarily locked as a result”! Anyway, “people can use copyrighted clips for ‘criticism’ under some conditions, and if there’s anything beyond doubt it’s that the targeted tweets are critical.”
