Lawsuit claims Netflix is designed to be addictive

Texas is suing Netflix, claiming the streaming platform collects subscriber data without proper disclosure and is designed to be addictive.

The state's Attorney General argues that Netflix's auto-play feature creates an endless stream of content meant to keep users watching longer.

A Netflix spokesperson called the lawsuit baseless and based on inaccurate claims, adding the company takes user privacy seriously and plans to defend itself in court.
