JAKARTA: The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has said it is ready to issue a fatwa against popular streaming service Netflix should the platform be reported and found to have hosted “negative” content. MUI fatwa division head Hasanuddin said digital platforms such as social media and streaming services were susceptible to the type of content that violated religious and legal norms in the country. “This includes negative content on Netflix, if any,” he said on Wednesday as quoted by tempo.co. “Should any member of the public object to the content on Netflix and demand a fatwa (against it), the council will study the matter and proceed to hold a fatwa hearing. “It will not take long for the MUI to issue a fatwa against negative content on Netflix,” Hasanuddin added.
