Top American content streaming service Netflix has announced plans to put in measures to prevent users from sharing accounts or swapping passwords.
In an interview with Newsweek, Netflix Chief Product Officer Greg Peter said that the company is looking for ways to limit password sharing in the platform’s Q3 2019.
Currently, Netflix’s terms and conditions currently state that the service and any content viewed through the service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household.
According to Netflix, usage even on multiple gadgets should be within the same household.
”Currently, multiple users can share one account by setting up different viewing profiles using one login,” reports Newsweek.
Netflix did not announce any immediate plans on the regulation but said that they are currently monitoring user activity.
