Your Netflix rental data: coming to a Facebook timeline near you soon
US Congress passes 'social sharing' bill that makes it easier for Netflix and Hulu to pass on your rental data to Facebook

Another reason for people to turn to piracy.

But they do that already in the UK and other countries where Netflix is available, but it is opt in, you don't have to use it.

I wonder why when I use the U.S version Facebook is not there, now I know.


i connected my Netflix to facebook just to be nosy and just not bothered to disconnect it. If at any time I don't want something i watched to be shared, i can choose for it not to be shared.

I have mine set so i only see what it posts on facebook, saves spamming my friends walls

I don't bother sharing my Netflix choices with Facebook at all.

I don't see the problem as long as you can opt out and as long as Facebook isn't made compulsory as I have never used Facebook and never will.

It puts it on your own wall or timeline, so it don't really spam peoples walls as such, well no more than spotify, in fact spotify is worse.
