Texas sues Netflix over kids' data collection and autoplay

Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Netflix, alleging the company illegally collected and monetized Texans' user data, including that of children, without consent. The lawsuit claims Netflix operates a "surveillance program" by tracking viewing habits, devices, and network usage, and sharing this data with brokers and ad tech companies. Paxton seeks to stop data collection and disclosure, disable autoplay on kids' profiles by default, and secure injunctive relief and civil penalties under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
