Privacy Crackdown: Texas escalated its fight with Netflix, alleging secret user-data collection and “autoplay” designed to keep viewers watching—while LG also settled a Texas smart-TV privacy case, agreeing to get consent and add opt-out controls. Platform Accountability: Santa Clara County sued Meta over “scam ads,” claiming the company monetizes fraud by targeting vulnerable users and letting high-risk advertisers run. Consumer Data Settlements: GM agreed to pay $12.5M in California over illegal driver data sales tied to OnStar, underscoring how privacy rules are reshaping auto and insurance practices. Energy Pressure: Iran-war fuel volatility is still hitting budgets; India’s pump prices held steady May 12 as OMC losses and possible hikes loom. Food Safety Watch: India’s FDA expanded surprise checks after warnings about chemically ripened mangoes in Mumbai markets. Repair Rights: Alaska advanced a right-to-repair bill for consumer electronics, pushing manufacturers to provide parts and documentation to independent fixers. Retail & Credit Stress: BNPL is framed as a “trap” draining future wealth, while consumer confidence and travel spend both sag under cost fears.
