What To Know About Netflix's Password Sharing Prevention Plan - IGN The Fix: Entertainment

The Netflix password crackdown is happening, and now we know exactly how the streaming service plans on doing it. This comes via a report from gHacks and it varies depending on the region you’re in, but here’s everything you need to know. Essentially, #Netflix will be monitoring which devices the user account is logged in to, and both UK and US subscribers might be subjected to verification if your location is not associated with the household Netflix has on file. This verification might also occur if an attempt is made outside of the subscriber’s primary point of access for an extended amount of time. In other news, DC Studios’ Peter Safran praised David Zaslav for canceling the Batgirl movie, as he agrees it was not releasable. And finally in entertainment news, Mike Judge and his animation studio struck a deal with Hulu on a revival of the hit Fox animated series, King of the Hill.

Wow netflix really hates uni students who share an account with family nack home huh

[mikeysof]

Netflix's biggest mistake is assuming they are providing a service that everyone needs.

[Elibbb-sxkg]

In 2017, Netflix post "sharing password is loving." What happened to the love Netflix?

[ragewinninethousand]

This is going to raise questions on how much information a company is allowed to gather. Imagine this in court 😯

IP Addresses aren't even static by the way, service providers will change your IP address from time to time unless you request a static IP (which most providers do not, well, provide)

Next Mcdonalds will be forcing people to eat in the restaurant only so they can make sure nobody is sharing their fries.

Hey give them a break. They need more money to make Netflix originals that they're going to cancel.

[MifuneYoutube]

What a mess. Not sure why they don’t just do it on the amount of devices you use at one time and leave it at that.

[yusefyohan]

Netflix basically just shot them selves in both feet

[ioasisyumich]

Time to sail the seas once again! 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[masterquadbiker]

Netflix going even more down into the hole they're digging

[dr.yeetmieser]

Why is Netflix the only one tweaking about this nonsense. Hulu, Disney, HBO, Amazon, Peacock and whatever else is out there don't care as much as Netflix and they have much better stuff anyway

[jesseordonez]

Netflix taking all the right steps in the wrong direction.

[faizkhan]

50% of users will cancel their subscription. Netflix shares prices are gonna drop so hard.

[DarthMercanto]

Yeah this isn’t worth it. Netflix is out.

[cruzee]

Thank you Netflix for finally giving me a reason to cancel my subscription

[mitchpasswaters]

Who's going to be the biggest mistake Netflix's ever made it's going to backfire on them so hard but if they're experts and professionals seem to be able to tell the future then by all means go right on ahead and watch your company dwell

[willoosthuizen]

Netflix is already dead and this will be the final nail in the coffin.

[Deepfry]

Already decide to cancel my subscription. We travel a lot so it seems to be no point. If there is something we want to watch we will buy for month binge, then cancel

[LegoReaderhello]

We will boycott if this happens. Who’s with me?
