TL;DR

Now, however, those rules have been removed from Netflix's help pages. According to The Streamable, Netflix says it was all a mistake — for the United States.

"For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, went live in other countries," a Netflix spokesperson told the publication. "We have since updated it."

It's Shrodengers corporate dick move. If it works they meant it and if it doesn't it was just an accident.

Lol. This just happened with Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast too.

A lot of corporate boldness from clueless executives that don't realize how done with bullshit people are.
