On May 23, Netflix announced that users from the United States, France and a hundred other countries around the world will now have to pay a supplement to share their access codes to the service with people outside their household.
So how will disabling account sharing work for users? According to Le Parisien, those who use a subscriber’s account will be gradually deprived of it in the coming days.
“The deactivations will not follow a logic of region, seniority or regular use”, indicate our colleagues. Subscribers will need to set the primary household that uses Netflix. “The algorithms will then spring into action and contact other users [du compte] with an alert message on their screen which offers them to subscribe under the different formulas”, continues Le Parisien.
Netflix, which has more than 232 million subscribers, added a cheaper subscription with in late 2022, following years of reluctance. It now has nearly 5 million monthly active users, according to the company.
The strategy to restrict password sharing had been delayed, but testing and deployment in Latin America and more recently in Canada have been successful, according to Greg Peters, the company’s co-chief executive.
