AI Search Fragments Digital Experience, Says Contentsquare
MarTech published an interview (March 25, 2026) with Jean-Christophe Pitié, chief marketing and partnerships officer at Contentsquare, discussing the firm’s large-scale digital experience data. Contentsquare’s signals indicate that the transition from traditional search to AI-powered/LLM-driven search has reduced organic traffic, fragmented discovery pathways, changed visitor behavior (LLM visitors differ from search visitors) and lowered time spent on websites. The conversation frames these trends as material for marketers, affecting acquisition, retention and site UX strategy. The piece is published by MarTech (owned by Semrush) and authored by Mike Pastore of Third Door Media.
Texas Sues Smart TV Makers Over 'Digital Eavesdropping'
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed lawsuits on December 17, 2025 against five major smart TV manufacturers — including Sony, Samsung and LG — alleging their use of Automated Content Recognition (ACR) turns televisions into surveillance devices that harvest and sell viewer data. Complaints claim ACR can capture content from connected gaming consoles and streamed personal content, that companies employ 'dark patterns' to obtain consent, and that Chinese-based firms Hisense and TCL pose national security risks under China’s National Security Law. The filings cite deceptive trade laws and reference a 2017 Vizio settlement over undisclosed TV tracking. The petitions and company-specific complaints were posted by the Texas AG’s office online.
Lionsgate Shifts Home Entertainment Toward Digital
Lionsgate reported a roughly $112 million net loss in its latest quarter as overall revenue fell amid a lighter theatrical slate. The studio’s home entertainment division grew over 6% to nearly $135 million, driven by roughly $125 million in digital sales while packaged/physical media plunged to just over $10 million. Total studio revenue for the quarter fell to about $475 million after releasing only two wide-release films versus five in the prior-year period. Lionsgate’s twelve‑month library earnings hit a record $1.0 billion, up 13% year‑over‑year. Management signaled confidence in future growth, released the first trailer for its Michael Jackson biopic, and disclosed rights acquisitions for The Expendables and Rambo franchises alongside interest from investor Steven Cohen.
