The "Freely viewable" rule was factually wrong — the catalogue already contains Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and bpb entries that are not free in the original sense. The "language" rule was implicit and didn't acknowledge the localized: block. Both fixed. What changed: - "Freely viewable" → "Watchable on a mainstream platform". Free ad-supported (YouTube), bundled subscription (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video), public-broadcaster libraries (bpb), or pay-per-rent on a major store are all in scope; obscure regional rentals and short festival exclusives are not. Mentions the links: map so contributors know where to declare them. - "Educational content" examples extended to mention content moderation and surveillance, mirroring The Cleaners / The Great Hack / Terms and Conditions May Apply. - "Accessible in English" is now an explicit clause, with an explicit pointer at the localized: block for alternate-language uploads of the same work. - New out-of-scope bullet excluding purely fictional movies / TV series. Biopics and dramatised true stories (The Social Network, Pirates of Silicon Valley) stay in scope under type: Movie; only fully invented plots like Mr. Robot or Halt and Catch Fire are out. The four positive criteria, the 15-minute floor, and the "published >2 weeks ago" clause are unchanged.

Summary
The acceptance criteria in CONTRIBUTING.md predated Netflix / Amazon Prime / bpb entries and the `localized:` infrastructure. Several rules were factually wrong; this PR rewrites the affected rules to match what the catalogue actually accepts today.
