JAKARTA - After drawing a lot of criticism from its users, Netflix has finally issued a further statement about its new policy of sharing accounts on Thursday, February 9.

In his confession, Netflix admits that the account-sharing system affects the company's ability to invest in TV and their new films.

"We always make it easier for people who live together to share their Netflix accounts with features like profiles and some streams. While this is very popular, they also cause confusion about when and how you can share Netflix," said Director, Netflix Product Innovation, Cheng Yi Long.

So, starting today, Netflix will implement its new policy in banning account sharing in Canada, New Zealand, Portugal and Spain.

That way, Netflix hopes that account owners can now have greater control over anyone who can access the account.

Netflix will help members prepare the main location, to ensure that anyone who lives in the same house can use the Netflix account.

Even so, members will still be able to easily watch Netflix content on their personal devices or enter other TVs, such as at hotels or inns while on vacation.

Netflix's standard or premium package members in the country can add additional member sub-accounts of up to two people at a cost of around Rp. 64 - 96 thousand per month, depending on the country they live.

"Netflix accounts are aimed at one family and members being able to choose from a variety of packages with various features. As usual, we will improve this new feature based on member feedback so that we can continue to improve Netflix in the years to come," the company concluded.
