TRIBUNNEWS.COM – Netflix users who often “hack into” accounts should be wary.
This is because the on-demand video streaming provider this week reportedly started smoking those who used to use one account together.
A number of users reported being “blocked” by Netflix, aka unable to access the video service. A notification appears that provides a condition for the user to return to watching.

“If you don’t live with the account owner, you need to have your own account to keep watching,” the message read in the notification, offering the option of a 30 day free subscription by creating your own account.
If the notification recipient is the original owner of the account in question, Netflix also requires verification that will be sent via e-mail or SMS to the registered number.

In other words, those who are used to hacking accounts are required to create and use their own accounts if they don’t want to be blocked.
A Netflix representative who spoke to The Streamable explained that his party had indeed started testing to find users who used accounts by gang.
“This test is designed to help ensure that the people who use the Netflix account are truly entitled,” said the spokesperson, as compiled by KompasTekno, Friday (12/3/2021).
According to the terms of use of Netflix, one account can actually be used by several people, but only for the same household.
Meanwhile, so far, people who share accounts are not always the same house, especially buyers who have access to illegal accounts that are sold for less than the official price.
