    Look into Paxton’s history of using consumer protection laws to do the opposite. He has never cared about people’s privacy before. This is almost certainly corrupt in some way, probably to either pressure Netflix to do something for the GOP or to score political points with someone.

    While normally I would applaud this, this is Texas, so it doesn’t have anything to do with what it says and is probably just some rich people playing games.

      I had the same initial feeling. My first thought was why Netflix? Is it a proxy CA v TX thing?

      It could be spurred on by some recent success in the courts from suits against the likes of Meta and YouTube for similar things.

          Why maintain your subscription?

          There’s a DMC anime? That might be good though. I liked the Castlevania one.

            We try to cancel every once in a while, but somehow within the following 30 days someone always has one thing they want to watch. It’s like they watch for us to cancel and then send an ad to one of the kids, “Hey, all the vtubers are watching this thing, so you want to right?”
