For Netflix to allow sharing of their viewing history on Facebook, they had to seek a tweak to the VPPA, which originally included ambiguous language regarding the methods for obtaining subscribers’ consent.

H.R. 6671 provided clarity permitting:
  1. Consent provided over the internet for users to share their own viewing history, and consent can be given for a period of time, up to two years, rather than for each instance a viewer wishes to share their own viewing history.
  2. Consent may include implicit consent upon acceptance of the Terms of Service. Users acknowledge that they may share their own information on social media or other platforms without creating liability for the service provider by using the service.
  3. Consent can be provided before each instance the subscriber wants to share their own viewing history.
  4. Consent is not necessary since the viewer explicitly requests that the information be disclosed via their social media network.
Explanation
Answer: A - Under H.R. 6671, subscriber consent may be provided over the internet for users to share their own viewing history. This bill also establishes that consent may be provided on a whole period rather than per instance. A user's consent, in this situation, is granted for up to two years.
 
With the enactment of this bill, Netflix integrated with Facebook, allowing subscribers to share their viewing history.
