    • Amazon has begun blocking certain apps from its Fire TV platform for promoting piracy.
    • The list of freshly blocked apps includes Blink Streamz, Flix Vision, Live NetTV, and Ocean Streamz.
    • The disabled apps can no longer be used, and can only be uninstalled.



    Following sharp criticism for failing to stop piracy on its Fire TV platform, Amazon has started blocking several streaming services that pirate otherwise DRM-protected content. The list includes at least four video streaming apps, including Blink Streamz, Flix Vision, Live NetTV, and Ocean Streamz.

    According to two separate reports from YouTuber TechDoctorUK and AFTVNews, Amazon Fire TV devices display a warning message when these apps are either opened or newly installed via sideloading. The warning states that running these apps can “can put your device or personal data at risk.”
