Netflix, Inc. indicted by grand jury in Tyler Co., Tx for promoting material in Cuties film

[Eris!]

Murder them

It's not murder if it's justified, that's just killing.

 

[SIGSEGV]

Based and redpilled

So anyone who watched the movie is in for the count too? That would be...interesting to say the least

 

[The Wicked Mitch]

Not only that but don't forget the casting. How many girls have twerked (and done other suggestive moves) in front of a camera for the role? What happened to the tapes/files?

Absolutely. If critiquing child exploitation/sexualization was their point they could've very easily used older actresses who looked younger and even then it would've been a very distasteful film, just clear pedobait this.

 

[Terror Rism]

the outspoken salt against this will out more pedophiles than the indictment, a win/win in all cases

 

[Chan the Wizard]

On one hand I completely agree it’s softcore child porn.
On the other, obscenity cases are complete bullshit. Either charge them with an actual crime or don’t, but obscenity cases are bullshit stuff like this comic made fun of Jesus or this porno involved poop. In this case it’s warranted but it should be federal investigation not some podunk Texas shithole using obscenity.
Edit: I misread and let my anger about obscenity laws get the better of me. Lmao it looks like they are pursuing child porn charges.

It's not murder if it's justified, that's just killing execution.

FTFY

How does prosecuting a corporation for a crime work? If convicted do they face dissolution? Financial Penalties? Do executives get locked up?

 

[HarblMcDavid]

That's probably an uphill criminal case and Netflix has the money to fight it. I'd be curious to see the followup there is because that's where the rubber hits the road.

At this point all we've proved the film is a ham sandwich, which is a start.

(a) In this section:

(1) “Promote” and “sexual conduct” have the meanings assigned by Section 43.25 .​

(2) “Visual material” has the meaning assigned by Section 43.26 .​

(b) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses, accesses with intent to view, or promotes visual material that:

(1) depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of an unclothed, partially clothed, or clothed child who is younger than 18 years of age at the time the visual material was created;​

(2) appeals to the prurient interest in sex; and​

(3) has no serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.​

(c) An offense under this section is a state jail felony, except that the offense is:

(1) a felony of the third degree if it is shown on the trial of the offense that the person has been previously convicted one time of an offense under this section or Section 43.26 ; ?and​

(2) a felony of the second degree if it is shown on the trial of the offense that the person has been previously convicted two or more times of an offense under this section or Section 43.26 .​

(d) It is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the depicted child consented to the creation of the visual material.

I'm pretty sure that's actually the Texas CP "possession and promotion" statute.
b requires 1, 2, and 3 to be proved for it to apply.

Edit: I agree with you about obscenity laws in general, but this isn't it I don't think.
Also inlined the law as written.

Will this actually do anything to Netflix?

It won't come close to doing the damage that netflix has been doing to itself over the last few years by desperately flooding their platform with every low budget movie abortion possible.

This is the timeline I want to live on.

 

[Thomas Talus]

I mean doesn't the prosecutor have to sign an indictment or whatever? They don't like to lose so

The grand jury are the ones who return the true bill of indictment.

 

[Grundlejungle]

Based texas. Pedoflix is gonna probably get off with a fine though.

 

[Inflatable Julay]

Does this end with me getting a payout of any kind?

 

[Eris!]

Friendly reminder that the programming director for Netflix is Barack Hussein Obama.

 

[Steverambo]

Every boomer on the internet when nothing legally comes of this

Still gonna be entertaining and cost Netflix more money.

Nick Rekieta stream when?

 

[Enyo]

Maybe this will translate to hope for all the drag kids being groomed by their parents, like Desmond. I hope Netflix goes down in fucking flames.

 

[Basement Dwelling Dork]

Based fucking Cowboys.
Legit Texas is that one state I know of that won't hesitate to fuck with people when children are involved.

Also, love the idea that this film tries to combat sexuality of young girls by promoting awareness... through making young actresses perform sexual acts for the film.

It’s really dumb but that’s what they’re arguing. I’ve also seen people argue “it’s ok because a WOC filmed it...” even if everyone who helped make it was a minority it’s still wrong.
