Netflix shareholders filed a lawsuit against the streaming platform Wednesday, accusing the streaming platform of defrauding investors by failing to disclose dropping subscriber numbers.

Last month Netflix reported losing almost 200,000 subscribers in Q1 of 2022 and expects 2mn more to leave in coming months, leading to a 25% drop in share prices within hours.

While the company has gained 500,000 subscribers from other countries this year so far, it lost 700,000 from Russia following its withdrawal from the country after the conflict in Ukraine began.
