Not that I'm convinced they fit in FAANG, but do Netflix have a particularly bad privacy record? I know they do lots of tracking and magic to make recommendations but I'm not sure they even have any concerning data to play fast and loose with privacy wise?

Its getting slowly more popular to personality profile people based on their behaviour. It might be tempting for Netflix to sell their viewing data for such a purpose one day if somebody decides they want to buy it for that.

Originally, FAANG referred to companies with huge growth. Now, the meaning has completely morphed.

Netflix probably provides data to Rentrak just like every other movie provider.
