Quotation of the Day for May 12, 2016
"We love Netflix. We're customers because we love your services and we love supporting creators. Watching quality content, and knowing that creators are being compensated in the process is great.
"But we also love our privacy.
"And lately, as your subscribers, you just haven't been treating us well. Over the past few months, Netflix has begun blocking VPN users from accessing any content in the Netflix library, as a way to enforce national licensing restrictions. This is a huge problem for our privacy-conscious supporters, who use VPNs as an essential, user-friendly tool to protect their privacy in a post-Snowden world."
- Laura Tribe, a Digital Rights Specialist at OpenMedia, in an open letter to Netflix about their efforts to prevent users of virtual private networks (VPN) from accessing Netflix content.
