Meanwhile, Netflix was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons as it mired itself into a controversy with the release of the trailer of a French film Cuties. Critics have accused the streaming giant of sexualising young children and demanded the platform be boycotted for the greater good. Netflix, however, recently defended the film Cuties saying it is a social commentary against the sexualisation of young children. It also encouraged people to watch the film and be the judges of it themselves.
