I accidentally discovered that Netflix is snooping my browser history. I configured Firefox for private browsing and turned history off. Netflix would no longer allow me to view content. They have no legal interest in my browser history. Of course they’d like to know it so they can better target ads and probably the NSA pays them to help with their data collection, but what I’ve viewed outside of Netflix is NONE OF THEIR FUCKING BUSINESS.
If you are a Netflix customer, I urge you to call them at (888) 638-3549 and tell them in no uncertain terms that this is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
If there are any lawyers out there that would be willing to get a law suit going pro-bono, please contact me at nanook@eskimo.com.
