Netflix will start cracking down on password sharing in March
.Netflix confirmed in a letter to shareholders last week that a crackdown on password sharing could begin by the end of March, he reported,CBS News reported.The streaming giant said a password-sharing crackdown would begin “later in the first quarter.” However,the exact date of the raid has not been announced. Netflix said,”While our Terms of Service limit Netflix use to one household,we recognize that this is a change for members who share accounts more broadly. “That’s why we’ve been working hard to develop additional new features that enhance the Netflix experience, including the ability to see which devices our members are using their account on and transfer their profile to a new account.” Netflix announced plans to start charging for account sharing last October, and the company also rolled out a low-cost ad-supported plan in November.Meanwhile, the company has declared 2022 to be a “tough” year as Netflix has lost subscribers for over a decade.
Mission Majnu – Inspired by ‘true events’ or hate propaganda against Muslims
Art can be a powerful medium for creating harmony, but it can also be a great tool for spreading hate.While everyone on the internet is talking about Siddharth Malhotra’s latest contribution to Netflix and the long tradition of Indian propaganda films against Pakistan, an out-of-school literature student is at the bottom of it. A great opportunity has arisen to explore the discourse revealed by Mission Majnu trailers and such media in general. There are pitfalls. Depending on who is in charge, art becomes propaganda and chocolate heroes become chauvinistic national traits. Nevertheless, to the surprise of many, these films are said to appeal the people’s sense of patriotism.The idea to enhance patriotism by hating Muslims is pathetic.This is how you appear to be human and treat other communities? A few years back The charming “Shah Rukh Khan” talks about a peaceful future for his children built through cooperation and negotiation. Borderless films like” Main Hoon Na” is now seen as relics of a bleak past. However, the exchange couldn’t be more atrocious.Talking about “Mission Majnu”,Malhotra’s appearance in the movie has become talk of the town. Stereotypical clothing, excesses, and forced accents seem blatantly ridiculous and funny because of inaccuracy of language.We can say that it is the result of conscious effort (rather than lack of it) distinguishing it from another.In Pakistan this movie has been mocked highly on social platforms because of its fakeness. It’s also important to remember why movies like Mission Majnu continue to be made. Simply to win elections, sometimes across borders, sometimes within borders, you need to find something more sacred than your own happiness and the sanctity of human life. If you want to be inspired by real events, don’t give in to this devastation. Makers should make films on true stories but they will make sure that it would not be agitational.We must use art to spread peace and harmony by telling meaningful stories about our personal histories, traumas, and struggles that inspire connection. For this to happen, rational minds must resist, question, and reject these hateful narratives and understand that we both are fighting against poverty and educational inequality.We have to solve the problems on the discussion table. It is also the responsibility of media houses to create accurate and meaningful stories to foster understanding between communities that leads to a sense of harmony.

Messi vs Ronaldo in Riyadh today: Will the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia become the new hub for global sports?
Today French club “PSG” and Saudi Arabia’s “All-Star XI” will play a friendly match. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will compete against each other.Today’s match between the two unprecedented players from Argentina and Portugal in the Saudi Arabian city of Riyadh proves the growing influence of the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia in football.Since 2011, PSG has been owned by a Qatari investor who is said to have ties to the Qatari royal family. Thanks to this investment, PSG had global superstars such as Messi, Kylian, Mbappe and Neymar.In the meantime, Ronaldo will be part of the Saudi All-Star X1 because of his two-and-a-half-year contract of $200 million with Saudi club His Al-Nasr. A fan bought tickets for this friendly match in auction for $2.6 million. It is also a sign that the center of world football is moving from Europe and Latin America to the Middle East.In the past, heavyweights from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar have invested in traditional assets such as overseas real estate and companies. But now it’s focus is on the sports industry. Experts say this is a way to diversify the economy along with diplomacy to achieve soft power by royal family.Over the years, there has been a flurry of investments in major English clubs. For example, Newcastle United was acquired by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The list of disputed payments has grown longer. The oil and gas industries of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have made these countries financially powerful when it comes to world sports.

This is a new city in Saudi Arabia, reportedly built at a cost of $500 billion. The city, he said, will be completed by 2026, with ski slopes in the middle of the desert.
