Netflix has been sued in Texas for collecting user data without consent, being accused of 'spying' and 'addictive' design.

Netflix is facing a lawsuit in Texas, where Attorney General Ken Paxton has accused the company of collecting data about children and adults without their consent. Paxton claims that the platform 'spies' on citizens, recording and monetizing billions of pieces of information about user behavior.

His office stated that every interaction on the platform becomes a data point that reveals information about the user. Netflix has rejected these accusations, announcing that it will contest the lawsuit in court, according to a statement sent to Reuters. This case raises important questions about data privacy and information collection practices by streaming platforms.
