Texas AG Ken Paxton is going after Netflix and Disney for tracking what kids watch, which is bad news for streaming companies and good news for parents worried about data collection.

• Paxton plans to use deceptive trade practice laws to force streaming services to disclose what data they collect on children.
• The argument is that Netflix and Disney are secretly tracking everything kids watch and search for, then using it to target them.
• Disney is also in the spotlight after Kathleen Kennedy resigned and Bob Iger stepped down, with new leadership taking over.
• The legal angle focuses on companies not telling customers they are taking and using their information without paying for it.

Outlook: Expect Texas to push legal action against streaming platforms over child data practices in the coming months.
