Authorities Rush To Censor Explicit Material On Netflix After Making A Shocking Discovery

Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) has already identified flaws on Netflix that it says must be fixed sooner than later.

KFCB last Friday announced that on-demand Internet streaming media, Netflix, would not be exempted from classification law before it is allowed to sell content locally.

KFCB argues it has already identified flaws on Netflix saying it identified inappropriate programmes hosted by the US firm that are wrongly rated for children aged 13 years.

KFCB Chief Executive Officer, Ezekiel Mutua, insisted Netflix must be subjected to classification laws as Kenya is mandate to fully regulate and govern its cyberspace.

Apart from the discovery of flaws on Netflix’s parental controls, Mr. Mutua argues that allowing the movie streaming site not to be subjected to classification laws posed a threat to the country’s security as cases of extreme radicalization were rampart in the cyber space and could no longer be overlooked.

If KFCB succeeds in its bid to subject Netflix to classification laws, movies that have contents that KFCB deems inappropriate would not be available for streaming on Netflix, be sure of that.
