account sharing
Dividing digital access privileges
Account sharing is the practice of multiple people using the same login credentials to access a service, particularly streaming platforms: Netflix cracked down on account sharing.
Often it's friends or family members splitting subscription costs, though services increasingly treat it as a terms-of-service violation.
The boundary between legitimate household use and unauthorized sharing remains contentious.
