The video streaming and rental company will move fast to allow users to share their viewing habits after getting government clearance last week.
(Credit: Netflix)Netflix will get “social features” that will allow users to share their viewed movies online, according to a report by Talking Points Memo.
Netflix has long wanted users to link their video accounts with Facebook and other social networks, but has been prevented from doing so because of the Video Privacy Protection Act, which bars company from disclosing information such as video rentals. An amendment to that law passed on Friday allows digital, as opposed to written, permission from users and thus makes it easier for Netflix to move forward with its social plans.
