From the article:
>Mr. Paxton said in a statement. “I will continue to fight Big Tech to ensure the privacy and security of all Texans.”
It's obvious pandering to the masses. This is about Mr.Paxton trying to get some attention.

Not a fan of mass surveillance, but my gut says this is the wrong person to fight this fight. His motives are questionable, and it shows in specifically targeting private business and not working to "ensure the privacy and security of all Texans" from government and law enforcement.
He targeted Google, when Amazon, Facebook, etc. are doing the same. Also, less known companies like Palantir, roam free, just because they don't have the political baggage like Google do.
Worst of all, Paxton doesn't seem to have any issues with police departments having access to Nest or Ring accounts.
