Netflix is to block millions of people from viewing its content with a new crackdown on password sharing. Netflix has started to clamp down on customers sharing their accounts with people they do not live with.
The streaming giant started a crackdown in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru on people sharing passwords and is now expanding the scheme. To make things easier, Netflix will offer an option to add "paid sharing" which is less than a full subscription - reports The Express.
Netflix said: "We expect to start rolling out paid sharing more broadly. Today’s widespread account sharing (100M+ households) undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve Netflix, as well as build our business."
