NEW YORK, United States (AFP)—The top prosecutor in Texas filed a lawsuit against Netflix on Monday, accusing the streaming giant of improperly collecting users’ data and designing its platform to be addictive.
“When you watch Netflix, Netflix watches you,” reads the opening section of the 59-page lawsuit filed in state court at a Dallas-area courthouse by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Paxton describes the streamer as a giant data repository where it tracks and logs users’ viewing habits, preferences and “other sensitive behavioral data,” according to a press release that describes Netflix as “spying” on Texas kids and consumers.
