Whatsapp specifically though, it is just your phone number. You don't have that control over your phone number. Seems a little harsh to hold that one company to higher standards than literally anything else with your number.
Direct marketing rules should still apply, in the UK you can't legally cold-call mobile numbers.
I mean, I get it I agree with you and use whatsapp the same way. The one time I tried to use it to message for a takeaway they just ignored the order.
- flurdy 8y agoTo be fair to Netflix it was a polite question banner at the top of the screen. Though fairly large and in your face. They did re-prompt a few times, but I have not seen it for a while now. But it caught me off guard as I was not expecting it. And did not welcome it. I wonder what the stats are for their members' responses. Maybe was just an A-B test.
- tialaramex 8y agoI get that banner. I don't have WhatsApp and have never used it. The container Netflix is inside doesn't know anything about me other than my Netflix account. Presumably they've decided that annoying paying customers is a good idea.
