    In that case maybe Google was gathering too much insight on the content Netflix users were watching. I’ve heard that Amazon (for a while) stopped including product information in their order confirmation emails because Google was gaining product purchase trend data.

      This is a VERY interesting thought. I hadn’t considered all the data collection likely available to Google as a result of the casting protocol. This is definitely plausible.
