Did anyone just forget a few years what was revealed about what Facebook was doing with its data? So it's nothing new and as long as users are advised that we should be able to use it as we wish.

Win10 Lockout
In recent weeks Microsoft has been getting sloppy with updates and bugs and one such bug is a broken Microsoft 365 trial offer.
On boot up, users get a full-screen offer for a trial version of Microsoft 365 and your choices are to just enter your credit card details to get access to their desktop. This is the only option they have to get things back to normal and you can just cancel afterward to prevent being charged.

Netflix Ban
This has long been a problem with Netflix from the start and if they would have set their rules down when the problem started they would not be addressing this.
Since the company started it always tried to accommodate everyone and that was good but for a short time. Netflix never pulled the plug on sharing and consumers still feel entitled that they have the upper hand and that time is now up.
As Netflix begins addressing its problems subscriber rates will gradually increase and before you know it they will eventually become once again a supergiant.
So for all those users who have been sharing accounts for years, let's just say that it was a good ride while it lasted.
