It looks like Netflix's password-sharing restrictions haven't been finalized yet.
Earlier this week, the streaming giant updated its rules regarding sharing passwords, saying that a "Netflix account is for people who live together in a single household." Netflix clarified that "people who do not live in your household will need to use their own account to watch Netflix."
Obviously, fans didn't take to the update well and Netflix responded by claiming that this information was false. Or, to be more specific, Netflix explained that the "new" rule "is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru."
Netflix has wanted to shut down password sharing for a long time. The streamer believes that sharing passwords across multiple households is a huge factor why the platform has stagnated, as it refuses to admit that canceling good shows is a much bigger problem it has to solve. Banning users from different households from sharing passwords makes sense on paper but Netflix doesn't have the leverage it once had.
