The Senate passed a bill that would give Netflix the go-ahead to facilitate “frictionless sharing” of users’ viewing history with Facebook or other online services. The House passed the same legislation earlier in the week, which means it now just needs a signature from President Barack Obama. Facebook has pushing for the legislation, designed to update the 1988 Video Privacy Protection Act, for more than a year.
