This is completely ridiculous and could end up hurting more than it helps. Netflix has reportedly banned workers from looking at each other for more than five seconds as part of its new anti-harassment rules.
The new policy also bans the companys film crews from asking their colleagues for their phone numbers, according to an article in the Sun.
Senior staff went to a harassment meeting to learn what is and isnt appropriate, an on-set runner told the Sun. Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.

Just wait until the discrimination lawsuits start flying when the company doesnt enforce extended staring bans on certain individuals such as a supervisor or vendor. This is too hilarious

Well, if someone stares for 5 seconds, can they then look away for one second and then re-start the 5 second clock so that they can continue to stare at the person for another 5 seconds? Ad Infinitum?

Shades of the Hays Code 3 second kiss limit.
Oh, the irony that these tools have to implement in real life the rules that they ridiculed and denigrated in the cinema.
