Netflix claimed that the website accidentally introduced anti-password sharing regulations recently.
The streaming giant claimed that global password crackdown rules had accidentally slipped into the help pages of the site after a series of harsh criticisms on social media, many of which threatened to cancel their memberships, according to The Guardian.
Kumiko Hidaka, a spokesperson for Netflix, stated, “A help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, went live in other countries for a brief time on Tuesday.” Since then, we have updated it.
However, the streamer has long threatened subscribers to implement anti-password sharing regulations since the previous year.
However, some individuals on social media were shocked by the widespread nature of the earlier crackdown.
A user made the observation, “I guess Netflix lost the love.”
“This may have worked when Netflix was the only game in town, but they are not,” wrote another user.
Sharing access to Netflix is the only reason it continues to be discussed in public. Lmao Another user inquired, “hey @netflix I travel for work for months at a time, how can I ensure that I am not blocked from the platform for being away from home wifi for more than 31 days?”
