Netflix reveals plans for anti-password sharing that will stop users from sharing their accounts with friends and family. And the internet is not taking this announcement lightly.
By the end of March, Netflix will require people in select locations to get their own account.
So, how will it work?
Accounts will only be available “within one household,” according to the streaming service’s website. In order to keep track of this, every 31 days, your device must log in on your home Wi-Fi network or your account will be blocked.
The news has created major backlash on social media. Many people are pointing out the strain this puts on college students that don’t live at home, long distance relationships and more.
Some people are even bringing up a past Tweet from Netflix in 2017: “Love is sharing a password.” Apparently those feelings have changed.
If you want to share Netflix with someone who doesn’t live with you, you can add an extra member to your account for a price.
Netflix will officially start charging for password sharing by the end of next month in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, leaving many to wonder, could this change be coming to the U.S. next quarter?
