Summary
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, alleging the streaming service illegally collects and sells Texans personal data, including childrens information, without consent. The suit claims Netflix shares user data with data brokers and ad tech firms, creating detailed profiles for targeted advertising. Paxton argues Netflixs ad-free, family-friendly image is a facade, as the company uses manipulative features to keep users, especially children, engaged for extended periods. The lawsuit seeks to halt data collection, disable autoplay on kids accounts, and impose penalties under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
