Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, accusing the company of unlawfully collecting data from children and other users without consent. The lawsuit alleges that Netflix misled consumers by claiming it did not collect or share user data, while in reality, it tracked viewing habits and preferences. This data was allegedly shared or sold to data brokers and ad-tech companies, generating billions of dollars annually for Netflix. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that Netflix's platform was intentionally designed to be addictive.
