Netflix Faces Backlash for Restoring 'Titanic' After Recent Tragedy

Netflix is facing backlash on social media for adding James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic" back to its platform on July 1st, less than two weeks after a submersible tragedy that killed five men who were on their way to the Titanic wreckage.

Some people find it insensitive and inappropriate, while others are criticizing the timing of the decision.

The deal to bring the movie back was reportedly made months ago, and the outrage is said to be a coincidence.

Cameron, who is a deep-sea explorer and director of "Titanic," had previously commented on the submersible tragedy, stating that he had a feeling something catastrophic had happened.
