President Obama on Thursday signed a long list of new laws into effect, among them the Video Privacy Protection Act Amendments Act (sic) updating 1988 legislation that prevented video rental companies from sharing customer video rental history with others, even with customer permission. That law inhibited Netflix from launching account integration with Facebook in the U.S., which Netflix has already done internationally. Netflix previously told TPM that it planned to introduce “social features,” presumably Facebook integration, in 2013, once Obama signed the law.
