Terrible News Coming In For Netflix Fans, Twitter In Complete Meltdown!
Netflix might soon put an end to password sharing and understandbly, Twitter is losing it!
A big change in Netflix setup is around the corner, and it might just change the streaming game forever. As per a report in Wall Street Journal, password sharing might come to an end in 2023, and hence a big challenge is coming the viewers way who like to binge watch. In the same report, it has been stated that password sharing was identified as a major problem which was eating into Netflix's subscriptions.
Earlier this year, Netflix widely reported subscriber losses. At a company gathering, Netflix co-chief executive Reed Hastings said that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the extent of password sharing.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that more than 100 million viewers use Netflix through borrowed password and this has prompted the streaming giant to put an end to password sharing in 2023.
As soon as the news came to the forefront, Twitter has been in complete meltdown, contemplating what will happen when the password sharing comes to an end.

On Thursday, Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in the United Kingdom stated that the Netflix password sharing practice could lead to criminal charges against such users.
The IPO stated that the password sharing for streaming accounts may amount to "secondary copyright infringement".
As per a report in The Verge, Netflix had last year tried an account verification took to keep unauthorised users from using other accounts.
