Three Netflix rule breaches which could get you banned from the streaming service
Streaming giant Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in the first three months of 2022 but, there is a clampdown on repeat offenders who abuse their accounts.
The consequences could even see them barred from Netflix.
What are the three rules?

Using a VPN
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and tricks websites into thinking they're in a different country.
So when you're using a VPN and accessing Netflix, customers can watch television shows and films released in other countries before theirs.
Netflix's position on VPNs says: "You may access the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content."
