People hate surveillance. They accept it as trade off, but you shouldn't remind them of it. And I'd even say that even collecting this data is wrong.

- simonswords82 9y agoI'm sure it's more a of case of needing the data for business purposes (such as paying copyright holders) than a matter of "surveillance".
- kuschku 9y agoThat's the same, though. Surveillance is only defined by collecting the data — not necessarily by how you use it. But the data still exists, and as in this case, can still be used. And apparently, Netflix rules on how to access or use it aren't particularly strict either.

- icebraining 9y agoAnd yet TV shows got made before the pervasive surveillance age. I'm not particularly aghast that they keep this data, but I can't agree that they need it.
