Netflix sued for secretly harvesting user data

Deep State Tribunal  - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Netflix of secretly harvesting user data—including from children’s profiles—and selling it to data brokers for billions, contradicting years of public claims that the streaming giant “doesn’t collect anything.”

The 59-page lawsuit claims Netflix collects viewing habits, device data, and behavioral information, then sells it to data brokers and ad tech firms without consent.  AG Paxton seeks to disable addictive features like autoplay on kids’ profiles, purge collected data, and impose fines up to $10,000 per violation.

Netflix denies the allegations, claiming full legal compliance and “industry-leading parental controls,” but the suit highlights a broader erosion of trust in Big Tech’s promises.
