Company Overview
Netflix is a streaming entertainment service company offering TV series, documentaries, feature films, and mobile games across a wide variety of genres and languages. The company operates through three segments: Streaming, DVD, and Other. The streaming segment includes subscription-based streaming services while the DVD segment, which has been discontinued as of September 2023, included DVD-by-mail services. The Other segment primarily consists of merchandise and other ancillary service revenues.
Revenue Sources
Netflix's primary revenue comes from subscription fees for its streaming content service. While some of their content may contain material that could be considered inappropriate from an Islamic perspective, subscribers have control over what they choose to watch. The company's business model is based on providing a platform for content distribution rather than primarily producing or exclusively dealing in haram content.

The company operates as a content platform in these regions but maintains control over its operations and content decisions.

So with Amazon we are uncomfortable because part of its business is music, movies and we are confortable with NetFlix ?

for interest perspective, it can pass the cercaria but what about the nature of business, which is also one of the most important aspect to decide if the investment in such business is permissible or not...

Netflix comfortable, but NVDIA uncomfortable? Hmm.. seems like there is selective morality at play here.

Please can you revisit this rating or elaborate because I don't think an entertainment company with inappropriate movies/shows should be comfortable to invest in
