Netflix caused quite the storm yesterday when they announced their new rules in order to stop its users from sharing their accounts with one another.

Well, not even 24 hours later, the streaming service has come out and said “never mind.”

According to Streamable, Netflix is claiming the new rules were posted to their website “in error,” and were “not applicable to the United States yet.”

A spokesperson for the service said, “For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, went live in other countries.

“We have since updated it.”

The spokesperson further explained that they would not roll out such a major change without sharing all its details with customers first.
