Split or Blended Families Harmed by Netflix's New Account Sharing 'Primary Location' RestrictionThis month, Netflix imposed a new account-sharing policy, dubbed the "primary location" restriction, that caught the attention of users affected by family separation or "split" families. This incident rings true for other users of split families like Marcus Kapz, who says that the new policy is "incredibly discriminatory." When asked to comment on how the new policy would affect split families, Netflix New Zealand recommended the "traveling solution" for non-TV devices. This suggestion does nothing to solve the financial burden shared by users affected by split families. The issue of Netflix's new restrictions on account sharing has caused concern amongst those living in split families who now have to pay double the cost to ensure both families have access to the streaming service.
