Netflix is ​​experiencing difficulties which are causing it to fall on the stock market and worrying its American investors.

Several of them believe that the film and series streaming platform has concealed elements from them about its economic health.

They have therefore decided to sue Netflix because of statements deemed "false and / or misleading".

The difficulties are multiplying for Netflix.

The film and series streaming platform is being sued by some of its American investors.

This follows the streaming platform's declining subscriber base, a loss of 200,000 paid accounts worldwide in the first quarter of 2022, the first in a decade.

Result: the stock market price of Netflix shares fell by more than 35%.

And that is what angers investors.

Radio silence on the Netflix side

They criticize Netflix for withholding certain information, in particular for not having warned them that "the growth of subscriber acquisitions was slowing, due, among other things, to the sharing of accounts between several customers and increased competition from other streaming services," they said in a statement.

The platform has not yet reacted to this complaint.

But it had already announced that it was working on tightening its rules on account sharing.

Especially since Netflix expects to lose more subscribers in the second quarter.

Netflix has also canceled several projects to save money.
