Texas has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, accusing the streaming giant of secretly spying on users, including children, through a vast behavioral‑surveillance program. The complaint alleges Netflix misled subscribers with promises of ad‑free viewing, child‑safe profiles, and no integrated data collection, while quietly harvesting user information. To keep viewers hooked, Netflix allegedly deployed “dark patterns” — manipulative design tactics that make the platform addictive. The state claims these deceptive practices violated consumer trust, exploited families, and built a hidden data‑tracking system that prioritized surveillance and engagement over user privacy and protection.
