A Democratic member of the Federal Communications Commission has accused the agency of conducting a "campaign of censorship" against Disney and ABC, while separately, Texas has filed a lawsuit against Netflix over alleged data practices involving children.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez sent a letter to Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro criticizing the agency's actions, which she characterized as attempts to curtail press freedom. The commissioner specifically referenced what she described as an FCC crackdown targeting Disney's ABC network and programs including "The View."

The Disney-related controversy appears connected to broader tensions between the FCC and media companies, though the specific nature of the agency's actions against Disney was not detailed in available reports. Gomez, as the lone Democrat on the FCC panel, positioned her criticism as defending press freedoms against what she sees as inappropriate regulatory pressure.

Separately, the Texas Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, alleging the streaming service engaged in illegal surveillance of children and implemented practices designed to addict users to its platform. The lawsuit also claims Netflix sold user data inappropriately, though specific details of these allegations were not provided in initial reports.

The dual controversies highlight ongoing tensions between government regulators and major media and technology companies. Both cases involve allegations of regulatory overreach or corporate misconduct, though the specific legal and regulatory details remain to be fully disclosed as the matters develop.
