Netflix’s clampdown on subscribers sharing accounts between households has reached the UK, with the streaming service now charging an additional £4.99 a month for any user not predominantly based in an account’s “primary location”.
Netflix has been threatening a crackdown on password sharing as a means of shoring up is stagnating subscriber numbers for some time now, and it began rolling out a related series of measures built around the notion of a designated “primary location” in February, albeit initially only in a limited number of countries.
Since then, Netflix’s measures have continued to spread around the globe, and, as of today, are live in the UK. The streaming service says it has started emailing members that share their accounts with users outside their household, telling them they’ll need to cough up an additional £4.99 a month if they want to continue doing so.
