It’s one thing to design a streaming app to be addictive and keep kids glued to their screens, but then to harvest and monetize their personal data?
It’s time to hold Netflix and Big Tech accountable.
🚨 JUST IN: Trump-endorsed Florida AG James Uthmeier just SUED NETFLIX for collecting user data and lying to parents, after promising a private and ad-free experience
Good! Netflix needs to be held accountable!
UTHMEIER: "Parents were told kids' profiles were a child's own space, safe, separate, great for kids. And families believed them. Families invited Netflix into their homes, into their living rooms and bedrooms. But behind the brand, Netflix built something different!"
"It's very clear that in 2022, they turned data they were collecting into a big advertising machine."
"The very data they said they were not collecting, they now were turning into a tremendous profit."
"Netflix engineers have been described, have described the company as, quote, a logging company that occasionally streams movies."
"It's logging the data of users. It's logging the data of kids. Every click, every scroll, every start and stop and shift, billions of data points being logged as they profit to the tune of billions."
"PARENTS should oversee the privacy of their kids — NOT a big tech company." 💯
