Notice any missing titles on Netflix?

Netflix just released information on the nine titles it has had to remove in several regions due to government demands. While most of these titles aren’t very surprising, what is surprising is that the majority – five takedown requests – came from the Singaporean government.

Netflix went through these demands in a report titled ‘Environmental Social Governance’. In the report, Netflix stated:

“We offer creators the ability to reach audiences all around the world. However, our catalog varies from country to country, including for [broadcasting] rights reasons [and] in some cases, we’ve been forced to remove specific titles or episodes of titles in specific countries due to government takedown demands.”

In Singapore alone, Netflix has had to remove five titles: Cooking on High, the Legend of 420, Disjointed, the Last Temptation of Christ and the Last Hangover due to a written demand from the Singapore Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
