Major anime streamer Crunchyroll was sued for allegedly violating the Video Privacy Protection Act by disclosing anime viewing habits and personal information.
Of course, I don’t think it should be PII, but Crunchyroll should be forced to show viewing habits in aggregate, just like the TV networks.
Netflix, Amazon, and the rest advertise “#1 show” or “trending show” on their own apps, and we’re just expected to fucking believe them, or not notice details like the numbers only pertain to the first episode, etc.
