AMC Networks, which operates AMC+, agreed in December 2023 to an $8.3 million settlement of subscribers’ claims that it shared personally identifiable information through third-party tracking without consent. The company denied wrongdoing. Eligible subscribers who streamed content from Jan. 18, 2021, through Jan. 10, 2024, may claim benefits; final individual payments were not yet determined.

AMC will pay $8.3 million to create a settlement fund and will quit using or modify the use of tracking technologies so as they will not violate the Video Privacy Protection Act, which prohibits video services from knowingly disclosing consumers' PII to others without their consent. AMC denies any violation in the settlement, but the parties have agreed to the settlement to avoid trial.
