Time for action: Cancel Netflix

A few weeks ago, fans appear to have caught what looked like a test run for “Leaving Neverland” on Netflix UK.

While a campaign started to get the fockumentary off of the platform, we thought we won the battle as many of us received communication that it has been removed and Netflix’s useless customer service confirmed that it would not be added to the platform

Were we naïve to be believe them? We could hope for some clear answer from a company many of us pay a monthly subscription to, but…

Dan Reed (aka Tom Sneddon 2019!) announced on his social media that the Channel 4 short version (that’s the version that they hastily edited after they were exposed for manipulating footage, would be coming to Netflix UK (We couldn’t see as he blocked us).

After some telephone shouting, Netflix provided a link to its media centre and weirdly the movie is not on the listing.

So now what?

Netflix has quietly put the 2-part fake documentary on their UK platform this week.

Here’s a suggested plan of action if the hit piece is announced:

1. Contact Netflix directly to ask them why that movie is on Netflix UK – be sure to specify you’re enquiring about Netflix UK. If you opt for web chat, select the option that allows you to receive a copy of the transcript to your email.
   
2. Cancel your subscription to Netflix giving your reasons.

Netflix has been struggling to find new movies and shows as the rise of other content platforms have emerged and platforms like Disney+ have been pulling its contents from Netflix to put on their own.

In the month where the documentary “Framing Britney Spears” on Sky have raised questions about the press/media assault on an artist, it is a shame to see Netflix going towards trash to get content and not getting a real documentary like Amazon Prime which features “Square One”, a real documentary based on facts about the Michael Jackson allegations.
