Netflix users have threatened to cancel their subscriptions after the platform revealed that it is cracking down on password sharing.
The streaming giant is testing a new system where users will have to pay an extra fee to share their account with people outside their household.
Furious users have taken to social media calling Netflix ‘greedy’ and threatening to cancel their subscriptions.
The news comes just a week after Netflix hit the headlines for announcing that it is increasing the price of its subscription packages in the UK by up to £2 a month.
While many users share their Netflix password with friends and family who don’t live in the same house as them, this is actually against Netflix’s terms of service.
‘The Netflix service and any content accessed through the service are for your personal and non-commercial use only and may not be shared with individuals beyond your household,’ its terms read.
According to Netflix, sharing your password with others not in your household ‘impacts its ability to invest in great new TV and films.’
