WASHINGTON, DC – Concerned Women for America (CWA) says the Department of Justice (DOJ) should block Netflix’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery because it threatens competition and the public interest.
In a letter to the DOJ, CWA CEO and President Penny Nance said, “Competition concerns are compounded by Netflix’s record on transparency toward families, as there’s a general lack of clarity in its application of age-based ratings and content disclosures for programming marketed to children.”
CWA research about Netflix children’s programming found that 41% of G-rated series and 41% of TV-Y7-rated series on Netflix contain LGBTQ+ content.
“The lack of reliable, consistent disclosures undermines parental trust and hampers decision-making. Adding a simple, neutral statement (LGBTQ+ Characters or Themes, for example) would go a long way in helping parents make a more informed decision. But rather than addressing these concerns by improving transparency and strengthening parental tools, Netflix now seeks to consolidate even more control over the market,” Nance said.
“For these reasons, I respectfully urge DOJ to block the proposed acquisition. The purpose of antitrust law is to prevent precisely this kind of consolidation before harms become irreversible. Excessive vertical and horizontal integration in media can reduce viewpoint diversity, limit innovation, and diminish the quality and safety of content available to families. A combined Netflix—Warner Bros. would be among the most vertically integrated entertainment firms in modern history, with sweeping implications across production, licensing, and distribution.”
