The boss of the US media company Paramount has said he does not want to remove historic programmes from his new subscription streaming service because they no longer meet current expectations.

Bob Bakish, Paramount’s CEO, said his company had thousands of shows in its back catalogue. “By definition, you have some things that were made in a different time and reflect different sensibilities,” he said. “I don’t believe in censoring art that was made historically, that’s probably a mistake. It’s all on demand – you don’t have to watch anything you don’t want to.”

His statement is so brash and common sense that I had to confirm that this was not a Bee article

Those quotes imply that other streaming services are censoring content.

Which movies are currently available in a censored form by a streaming service?

What movies are currently unavailable due to censorship? (Don't @ me with Song of the South. It's been unavailable since 1986, no matter what the dude who bought a bootlegged DVD says.)

Movies, I'm not sure of - and while not censored - don't they have warning messages in front of old Looney Tunes cartoons?

They have about 5 minutes of some shaved head, big hoop earrings broad talking about how racist Gone With the Wind is on HBOMax. And you couldn't skip over it a few months ago.

Hulu took multiple episodes of IASIP off it’s platform because they couldn’t handle the Lethal Weapon remakes.

Disney has tons of warning messages in D+, and multiple episodes of South Park are permanently censored and unavailable everywhere

A lot of times,it's more subtle than that. Instead of removing an entire movie or episode, jokes are cut and references removed. My kids noticed this in Bluey, and that has only been available to them via streaming.

Hulu also removed the couple episodes of scrubs where JD was in blackface (which he was beaten up for).

Happy Days, on Metv, had Richie in his room, and he had a Darlington Raceway poster on his wall. Had a blurred square on it because it was a Rebel Flag
