Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Monday that he filed a lawsuit against Netflix Inc., alleging the streaming giant collected user data without consent and shared it with third parties.
"Netflix has built a surveillance program designed to illegally collect and profit from Texans’ personal data without their consent, and my office will do everything in our power to stop it," Paxton said. "Netflix is not the ad-free and kid-friendly platform it claims to be. Instead, it has misled consumers while exploiting their private data to make billions," he added.
The attorney general aims to hold Netflix accountable under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), seeking to halt the alleged unlawful collection and sharing of user data, require autoplay to be disabled by default on children’s profiles, and obtain other penalties and injunctive relief.
