After several warnings from the streaming giant that they would begin cracking down on password sharing, Netflix recants their rule. Netflix released that they would enforce a "one household" rule.
Under the "one household" rule, users would have to prove that they were in the account holder's primary location. In order to prevent one's account from being blocked, users would have to log in via the account holder's primary location WIFI and watch something every 31 days. The only way to share your account under these new rules was to add members to the account for a fee of $2.99 per month.
After releasing the newest protocols, Netflix took it down within a day stating that their anti-password sharing regulations were posted as an error ---- in the United States. "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," Netflix stated. "We have since updated it." Netflix has been piloting an idea with these three nations.
Twitter, was in an uproar after the streaming company corrected their mistake. Fans of the platform called out the company for once touting their looser password rules earlier in 2017.
