Florida attorney general sues Netflix, seeks billions in damages
Florida's attorney general sued Netflix, alleging deceptive collection of billions of user-behavior data points and seeking a jury trial, data deletion, and billions in damages. The action elevates regulatory and litigation overhang around data practices and ad-tech monetization, potentially increasing compliance costs and constraining product features (e.g., autoplay) and targeting capabilities. Netflix said the case is baseless and will fight it.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit against Netflix on Wednesday, accusing the company of illegally collecting billions of user behavioral data points and using autoplay to keep people watching longer. The complaint says Netflix later used that data to support its ad-supported service launched in 2022. Florida is seeking a jury trial, an order requiring Netflix to delete data it says was obtained deceptively, and billions of dollars in damages. Netflix said the lawsuit is baseless and that it will fight the case.
