in 2018, Facebook told Vox that it doesn't use private messages for ad targeting. But a few months later, The New York Times, citing "hundreds of pages of Facebook documents," reported that Facebook "gave Netflix and Spotify the ability to read Facebook users’ private messages."

Surprising? No. Appalling? Yes.

I think its about decreasing the costs of Netflix by having the right selection of movies available for a given geography at the right time.

Anyway this limited library thing is another reason I prefer streaming from torrents
