Disagree with the first two.

1. Netflix shouldn't have to care about the internal implementation of Gmail addresses. It's perfectly fine to treat [email protected] and [email protected] as separate accounts.

2. If you attempt to sign up for Netflix with an email address which already exists in their system and they tell you that, it isn't a security or privacy breach. There is absolutely no other way to handle the situation.

Agree with the third one though. A "click here to activate" email absolutely needs to be standard in every sign-up flow.
