"Netflix Is A BAD Actor" - Ken Paxton EXPOSES Netflix's SECRET Child Spying Program

The Texas Attorney General is suing Netflix, alleging that the company illegally collects and profits from children's data without consent. This lawsuit stems from concerns about privacy and data tracking, similar to previous actions against Google and Facebook. The core accusations include collecting data, selling it to ad tech companies, and using "dark patterns" and autoplay features to manipulate children into watching inappropriate content. The Attorney General argues that Netflix markets itself as kid-friendly while providing content that many parents would consider unsafe, particularly concerning LGBTQ+ issues and transgenderism. This is framed as a deceptive trade practice, as Netflix allegedly fails to disclose its data collection and the nature of the content being shown to children. Texas is seeking civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation and wants Netflix to cease its unlawful data practices. While acknowledging the distinction between data collection and content creation, the Attorney General's office believes they have a strong case based on deceptive marketing. They have successfully held other companies accountable for similar practices where disclosures to consumers were lacking. The goal is to hold Netflix accountable, ensure consumers know what they are signing up for, and incentivize Netflix to change its behavior through penalties.
