一句话看懂
Florida's attorney general sued Netflix on Wednesday over data collection from minors.
The case tests whether ad-tier data practices invite state scrutiny across the US.
背景
Netflix launched a lower-priced ad-supported plan in November 2022 to boost revenue as subscriber growth slowed. Florida's attorney general accuses the company of a 'bait-and-switch': promising paying subscribers less data collection while still gathering viewing information for advertising. The suit is the latest in Florida's push to hold Big Tech companies accountable for unfair business practices, and follows a similar suit by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in May.
