(Sharecast News) - Netflix has mistakenly launched a set of guidelines for cracking down on password sharing to global users. The streaming service said the guidelines being trialled in Chile, Peru and Costa Rica had been posted accidentally across its help centre pages including in the US on Wednesday, but had since been taken down. - Guardian The Bank of England has sounded the alarm over a worsening crisis in the rental market as high taxes and red tape forces landlords to sell up. In its Monetary Policy Report published on Thursday, the Bank said demand for rental properties has continued to outstrip supply as "the number of landlords choosing to exit the market increased". - Telegraph

The online retailer posted revenues of $149.2bn, up 8.6pc, in the three months ending in December, buoyed by its internet services division. - Telegraph
