Since sharing Netflix passwords is a breach of their terms of use, that's not really a compelling argument.

I doubt streaming services are looking to make passkeys the only way to authenticate devices though. Too much competition, and too many valid use cases for use outside of a personal device.

Like the millions of "terms of use" breached by the exact trillion dollar companies pushing for passkeys (Google, Microsoft) while training their AI models? Sounds like terms of use are entirely irrelevant in the first place.

Terms of use != laws. ToS are very often overruled by laws in lot of jurisdictions. Saying anything that violates ToS should not exist as a free/public standard, is corporate speak, and not in the interest of the consumer.

See what happens if I get caught downloading movies.

Then see what happens if meta downloads an entire library and trains their AI with it.

Not sure if anything different happens. If you get caught, you probably get fined - that is true for Meta and for you. Not sure what jurisdiction you are in that would get you into prison.

Meta just figured the fine is worth the leap ahead in AI training, and I kind of agree.

Since when "you are not supposed to do it" works? :) Most videogames cannot be freely copied or modified/tampered with, according to their ToS; still, companies implement draconian DRMs/anticheat to block people from doing it anyway. This is the same situation.

I mean, it was an example. Replace it with an amazon account and the argument remains the same.
