Would not Apple miss out on hugely popular shows like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad if it starts filtering out shows that have violence or sex from its original programming? Apple can be successful but it won;t be hugely successful with this strategy like HBO or Netflix in my opinion.

The article mentions that Stranger Things didnt have any sexual content or anything really edgy.

Deadpool is part of the X-Men franchise that 20th Century Fox has movie rights to produce. They put the MARVEL logo and appropriate Disney credit in the credits, but that's as far as it goes... it isn't produced by Disney.

Not yet.

Disney isn’t going to drop their adult content when the Fox acquisition is complete.
