Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Netflix, accusing the streaming giant of spying on customers, including children, and misleading them about data collection practices. The suit claims Netflix violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by falsely stating it did not collect data from paid users, while secretly gathering and analyzing user behavior to target ads. It also alleges Netflix used addictive "dark pattern" features like autoplay to keep users engaged and profited billions by selling user data to advertisers. This legal action highlights growing concerns over privacy and data use in streaming services.
