Subsequently, the company dismissed around 25 employees from its marketing group.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Netflix\u2019s stock prices have also plummeted in recent months, seeing a drop of over $100 per share between April 19 and 20.

So we offer a wide variety of TV shows and movies, some of which can be provocative. To help members make informed choices about what to watch, we offer ratings, content warnings and easy to use parental controls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;Not everyone will like \u2014 or agree with \u2014 everything on our service,&#8221; the Artistic Expression section continues. &#8220;While every title is different, we approach them based on the same set of principles: we support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with; we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes; and we let viewers decide what\u2019s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Also placed on the chopping block recently was <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/netflix-cuts-meghan-markles-childrens-show-amidst-plunging-subscribers\/\">Meghan Markle&#8217;s<\/a> feminist children&#8217;s show &#8220;Pearl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The show was reportedly &#8220;in the development stage&#8221; and was to be loosely based on Markle&#8217;s own childhood.
