Streaming television colossus Netflix on March 12 was dabbling with more strictly enforcing its rule against sharing passwords with people living elsewhere, according to US media reports.

Some Netflix users who were apparently tapping into other people’s accounts turned to Twitter to share news of an apparent crackdown, along with posts of a notice telling them they need to be subscribers to keep watching the service.
