Facebook Watch, Netflix were allegedly bigger competitors than they let on.

    Oh wow, I already figured that government agents had free access to Facebook DMs but the lawsuit alleging Netflix and other companies getting access to what users say to each other? That’s a new one, we’ll see how those claims play out. It wouldn’t be surprising to me.

      As I read it it’s more that Netflix can send users DMs to tell them about their new show?
