‘That didn’t age well’: Netflix gets roasted by users for old tweet amid new password rules
On Feb. 1, Netflix released its plans to crackdown on password sharing — and a lot of users aren't happy. The new guidelines include strict limits on the number of users on each account, even using tools like IP verification on log-ins detected outside of the main holder’s address.
While Netflix has yet to release when they plan to enforce their new policy, the internet already has plenty to say about it. Twitter users even resurfaced an old tweet the company posted in 2017. (A good reminder to be careful of what you put on the internet.)
"Love is sharing a password," Netflix wrote on March. 10, 2017.
Love is sharing a password.
