11 US States urge DOJ to thoroughly probe Netflix-Warner Bros. deal
Eleven U.S. state attorneys general are urging the Department of Justice to conduct a thorough review of Netflix’s bid to acquire studio and streaming assets from Warner Bros., arguing that the deal could threaten U.S. dominance in movies.
They contend the merger could reduce competition, curb innovation, and harm consumers through higher prices and fewer choices in movies and streaming content.
The AGs call for a comprehensive investigation into potential antitrust concerns and national impacts as Netflix seeks to expand its film library and production capabilities by absorbing Warner Bros. assets.
