Netflix warning as users hit with ban from today

Netflix has started to send warning emails to UK customers who are sharing their accounts with people "outside their household".

The streaming giant said a Netflix account was "for use by one household" with a ban on sharing passwords now in place. Anyone who wants to share their account must pay £4.99 to do so.

It comes after the company, which has lost subscribers amid stiffer competition and rising inflation, began a crackdown on account sharing last year in countries including Chile, Costa Rica and Peru.
