The Daily Digest: Taking Down Patriot Act

The Bigger Picture team kicks off a new daily show, where we discuss current issues - both local and global - that have been thoughtfully curated by the team. Netflix has taken down an episode of its comedy show “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj”, in Saudi Arabia, after officials from the kingdom complained. The move has sparked criticism, and leads to questions about how streaming platforms will handle censorship.

Produced by: Sharmilla Ganesan

Presented by: Sharmilla Ganesan, Tee Shiao Eek and Tina Carmillia
