3. Sarandos addressed the internal pushback against The Closer while defending Chapelle. "Several of you have asked where we draw the line on hate. We don't allow titles on Netflix that are designed to incite hate or violence, and we don't believe The Closer crosses that line," Sarandos writes in his memo. GLAAD has responded publicly, saying, "Netflix has a policy that content 'designed to incite hate or violence is not allowed on the platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that.".
