A Christmas Prince. Source: Netflix/YouTubeA recent tweet from Netflix has left users concerned that the streaming service is misusing information gathered about users’ viewing habits.

Remarking on the number of people binge-watching the Netflix film "A Christmas Prince," the company issued the following tweet:

“To the 53 people who've watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?”

Users, however, were not upset with the additional criticism being heaped on the already much-maligned movie. Rather, they are disturbed by the apparent confirmation of a long-suspected concern that Big Brother is indeed watching.

Even more disturbing, according to user tweets, was that specific customers were publicly ridiculed using information gathered while customers used the streaming service.

A tweet from user Mimmi Kingdon raised a number of questions about what information is being tracked by the service:

“This tweet raises a lot of important questions about Netflix policys [sic]. Who wrote this tweet? Can low level employees access private data? For whom is it possible to access data from specific users? What are the consequenses [sic] for employees misusing or accessing data they shouldn't?”

"The privacy of our members' viewing is important to us," Netflix responded in the statement. "This information represents overall viewing trends, not the personal viewing information of specific, identified individuals."
