We are calling for the removal of "The Push" from Netflix.

This is not out of a desire for censorship. Indeed, it is likely that this petition will cause more people to watch "The Push." We are not concerned in preventing people from watching. Rather, we want to discourage future inhumane shows like "The Push" from being made and we want to encourage platforms such as Netflix to make a stand for the ethical treatment of fellow humans.

In the filming of "The Push," reality TV participants are coerced into pushing a man to his death from the roof of a tall building. This is a stunt. The man does not die. However, the participants believe, for a short time, that they are responsible for his murder.

Psychological experiments such as these can leave lasting damage and are not allowed in academic research for ethical reasons. Why should they be condoned in the framework of "reality" television?

Our world has already seen "normal" people commit terrible atrocities under social pressure. "The Push" sacrifices the mental health of humans and brings nothing new to the table.

By signing this petition, you are asking Netflix to remove "The Push," thereby denouncing inhumane filming practices.
