Texas sues Netflix for spying on kids, collecting data without consent, and using addictive design.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Netflix, accusing the streaming service of illegally collecting and selling user data, especially targeting children, without consent. The suit alleges Netflix falsely claimed it did not collect data while using addictive features like autoplay to keep viewers engaged and monetize their habits. Texas seeks to stop these practices, disable autoplay on kids' profiles, and impose penalties under the state's Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This legal action highlights growing concerns over privacy and data use by major tech platforms.
