Reed Hastings, the co-founder and executive chairman of Netflix, reportedly told technology news publication the Information that he contributed $7 million in July to a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
But a viral social media post calling for the streaming service’s customers to cancel their subscriptions suggests that the company donated to Harris.
“Netflix just donated 7 million to Kamala. Bye bye Netflix! They need to feel this people! Cancel today!” reads the post that has been shared by numerous accounts on multiple platforms.
That post is inaccurate. The news article — which requires a subscription to read in full — said Hastings personally donated to a group working to elect Harris. There is a difference.
