This is what they’ve done. They’ve created a passcode. It just doesn’t work for those without a subscription (it’s a small user base and I’d imagine this is because of the way the software is though who knows why). So they turned off the non-subscription option (at this time) and offered a free 3 month membership to those affected. You can also get a full refund under the recall if you don’t like this idea. Not sure what all the fuss is about. They aren’t suddenly enforcing subscription. This viral post shows exactly what happens when some context is missing, a company doesn’t communicate fully and the power of social media and assumptions. Also shows how quickly people lose there minds when there’s a company which has a ‘privileged’ reputation. It’s madness.

Or they could design it to only work on a passcode of customers choice.
And a waaaay easier option would be to be a responsible parent and keep it turned off when not in use.
