I assume that they would have to be prepared to explain their case to the satisfaction of a human regulator. Crunchyroll being an anime streaming service is easy to understand. On the other hand, to my knowledge Netflix has never advertised itself as a platform for exclusively American content.

So all one needs to do is advertise oneself as such to be exempted?

I doubt that, and I, frankness be, suspect there's probably going to be some very dubious standard that will no doubt even consider race and other similar tribal nonsense when deciding to allow it or not.

If one deliver U.S.A. content one must deliver European content as well, for they are white, and thus they are like us, but the Japanese are not white, they are not like us, so we don't compare themselves with them, so one can offer their content without our egos feeling hurt.

Crunchyroll sponsors the production of lots of anime these days, and isn't too picky what they make (eg they've done like two fantasy novels written by misogynists about guys who travel to another world and get a sex slave.) They could sponsor adaptations of European stories, like Ghibli's already done.
